Galder Zamarreño commented on ISPN-663:
---------------------------------------

No, I don't think you can assume that. Passivation is about moving data from memory to a persistent disk cos it hasn't been used in a while, but it doesn't mean it doesn't need it any more! So, you have to assume that this is data that might be needed later and hence no loss is allowed. What I mean with this is that with passivation, data is either in memory or cache store.

So, even if passivation/eviction occurs in a delayed fashion, it doesn't mean that we evict from memory and we passivate after X time. If eviction/passivation happens in a delayed fashion, it means that after X time, eviction happens and immediately data is passivated, hence no loss occurs.

> Eviction with passivation enabled using the JdbmCacheStore appears to be significantly slower in 4.1.0.FINAL vs 4.0.0.FINAL.
> The degredation in performance is so signficant to make it impossible  to use
> The  performance issue seems to due as the JdbmCacheStore synching the filesystem via FileDescriptor.sync() or similar which occurs during every object passivation and each passivation occurs as a new object is added beyond the EvictionMaxEntries capacity.
> The attached test inserts 1000 values into two caches
> Both caches use a JdbmCacheStore and  LRU
> PASSIVATIONLRU10 runs with cache with EvictionMaxEntries  10
> PASSIVATIONLRU1000 runs with cache with EvictionMaxEntries  1000
> 4.1.0.FINAL
> PASSIVATIONLRU10 Time Taken : 51704
> PASSIVATIONLRU1000 Time Taken : 4484
> 4.0.0.FINAL
> PASSIVATIONLRU10 Time Taken : 281
> PASSIVATIONLRU1000 Time Taken : 141
> 4.2.0.ALPHA2
> PASSIVATIONLRU10 Time Taken : 51047
> PASSIVATIONLRU1000 Time Taken : 5156
