That has been our experience with Melati; one can easily end up database-bound---or more likely waiting on the staggeringly slow JDBC driver (try postgresql's some time ...). Melati's cacheing can be very helpful. But of course concurrency tends to work against cacheing ... > I believe, if performance is a main concern, that you will have to > commit deep thought to those issues especially. Depends on the kind of market you are thinking of. The performance we get out of Melati+postgres on a cheap PC is adequate for the great majority of all known websites, without really trying. If you put a good ocaml-based equivalent on a 4-way SMP box talking to a database on another box, you would be comfortably into the hundreds of hits per second I reckon. ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
