RE: WAS performance on i5

Issue first became apparent on commissioning of a project 14 months ago.

Thanks!

Is this recent experience, or was this several years ago?

Thanks again.

Generally fine for low to medium transaction rates, though for a cost
comparison, it uses lots more resource / cpu / disk i/o than the relevant
x-series / intel equivalent.

We found IBM recommending lots of gig of RAM, upgrades everywhere at a
massive cost per gig, so we went Dell Poweredge for web & app layers, saved
a fortune and beats WAS performance on i5  hands down.

We found that many IBM classes are very poorly written (which they admit to
and just say it's not designed for high scale use) such as PCMLs.

Was WAS worth the money for us? No. - Over 1 year down the line of a
priority 1 issue logged, they just said to go x-series, which we'd already
done after 1 month anyway.

Does anyone have experience with WAS 6 or WAS6 express on the i5?
How does it perform?
Is it painful to use?
Is it a good price/value proposition?

Thanks
