<TITLE>RE: [jdom-interest] Speed/memory Improvement from b8 to b9 but no 1.1.x support</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Just to remind people that the memory leak had nothing to do with JDom. It is a bug in the 1.4.x Java VM StringBuffer class that Users of JDom b8 happened to encounter. JDom b9 implemented a work-aound to the bug.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So, really, the speed improvements are a good thing, and the Memory leaks, well that was just shoddy work by Sun.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Of course, along with the speed and memory utilization, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>web applications no longer require us to restart the web </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>app serer every 3 hours due to the b8 memory leakages. </FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>In one case tomcat has been running continuously since b9-rc2 </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>without needing a restart yet! In another case 0c4j instead</FONT>

On a typical SAXBuilder.build of an existing 120kb XML would take 1.5s and 31MB of memory using b8. With b9, the load time dropped to <0.1s and memory footprint is ~500KB. Kudos to the JDOM for major tweaking/bugfixing.</FONT></P>
