The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
It would be interesting to see if ASP.NET performed better/worse/same
as JSP
on the iSeries.
I'd be impressed if it performed as well as Java _on iSeries_. I know it
can be done, Richard has shown it, but I think if you use .Net on
something other than Windows you're missing out on a big part of .NET.
Sure the languages and toolings are nice. But the CLR, when you really
dig into it, is downright amazing.
Read some of the detailed tech-specs and watch some of the channel-9
videos on the CLR and you'll see how much stuff is packed in there. The
optimizing JIT is incredible. We've actually debugged some of the
generated machine language from a optimized C# function, and I've seen
the JIT throw out huge chunks of code as unneeded. Remember, there's a
performance benefit of not having the code in memory as the smaller the
resulting code the more it fits on chip cache. The CLR has optimizations
that are CPU and even NUMA-aware. At least the MS written one. Go to a
non-MS CLR and you'd lose a lot of those advantages.
