Java Performance Community

The mission of this project is to become a destination for performance issues throughout the stack:
Hardware: performance features and tuning of specific processors, systems and BIOS
OS: operating system specific tuning and configuration
Java Platform: JVM tuning and code development best practices
Application Server: tuning thread and connection pools, design idioms
Web Services: XML parser and SOAP primitive performance
Portal: best practices for putting application servers, identity management, and dynamic web content all together
Desktop: startup, footprint and graphics optimization
Grid: how to optimize Java applications in a distributed computing environment

This project originates with Sun's Java Performance Group and is intended not only as a way of providing feedback to Sun about Java performance but also as a vehicle to uplevel performance in the entire Java ecosystem
