[hibernate-dev] Hibernate Developer IRC meeting - 5/03

[Steve Ebersole]

I seriously doubt the performance cost of 20 'parallel arrays' versus 1 
array of Objects holding those 20 values is anything but negligible at 
best.

But I do have recollections of some lock exceptions that were not catch up and I had to use PessimisticLockException. It could have been a change triggered by the TCK. Again I might be wrong, it was a long time ago. Plus ORM's core has evolved since.
