[jboss-dev] Interesting JBAS profiling results

Fri Jun 19 07:48:10 EDT 2009

I am running the default profile. I'll get the numbers for "all" 
profile. I can then compare them against my numbers for the default profile.

On a related note, i guess using the default profile for testing the 
performance would be a good idea because that's what most users are 
interested in.

P.S: Once the MC and other component upgrade happens in the trunk we 
might see some different  (hopefully better) numbers.
