HI Steve,
The loading process takes a bit bit longer, but that is not due to the cache update, but to the 'patch time' (see below). What we saw in our tests is that when using a low amount of threads it seems to perform similar, but if we "hurt" our server with a lot of threads it seems that 1.3 out performs 1.4
version threads req/sec
1.3 Tera-Wurfl 10 36.9
1.4 Tera-Wurfl 10 35.6
1.3 Tera-Wurfl 80 233.6
1.4 Tera-Wurfl 80 120.2
the tests are done using jmeter and a set of mobile-only useragents. (the SIMPLE_DESKTOP_ENGINE_ENABLE = true ) but that probably doesn't matter in that case).
I'm not too worried about the results, since it will take us a while before we're at these number, but the result was a bit surprising to me. Did you do similar tests?
regards.
Robert
