Hi Patrick

Having started WebSphere, the 1st time you load the
webfacing app after it's updated:

1 the jsp has to be compiled which takes time for sure
2 the compiled java classes used by the jsp have to
loaded from the classpath.

both of these operations are really slow.
When the app has been run for 1 user, a 2nd user
running the same app should see very good response
time given that the WebSphere server instance is still
running....

You CAN ensure all jsps are compiled by manually
invoking each webfacing app before users do the 1st
time only.

Also you can designate specific servlets to preload in
WebSphere so the 1st user won't get a hit on
performance when the WebSphere server instance is
started.

Finally, I didn't use iSeries WebSphere fixpack 3.5.3
BUT other users told me they had problems with JSPs
continuously recompiling (which they shouldn't).  You
might check to see if this is a problem....
