Hibernate Team Posted Several Batoo JPA vs Hibernate Benchmarks - Proving Batoo Is Fast

Batoo JPA Released!

The New JPA 2.0 Implementation, +15x Faster Than The Leading JPA Provider!

I loved the JPA 1.0 back in early 2000s. I started using it together with EJB 3.0 even before the stable releases. I loved it so much that I contributed bits and parts for JBoss 3.x implementations.

Those were the days our company was considerably still small in size. Creating new features and applications were more priority than the performance, because there were a lot of ideas that we have and we needed to develop and market those as fast as we can.

Logging can be blessing or curse...

No doubt that logging saves lives of developers and system administrators. But the truth is in inadequate hands it can turn to be a suicide.
