    21. 21 i 6.1 Java & WebSphere Performance Improvements Improvements primarily in JDBC, DB2 and Java Includes 64K pages (only available on POWER5+ and beyond) Some improvements available via i5.4 PTFs But majority of improvements available only in i 6.1 Toolbox JDBC improvements include use of unix sockets (not necessarily the default), about a 10% improvement Latest V5R4 data shows about 25% improvement over V5R4 GA throughput levels for native JDBC From earlier/older chart – v6r1 projections chart Quite a few improvements have already been made available via V5R4 PTFs. So if a customer has kept their PTFs up-to-date, they’ll get some of this gain before V5R5. Probably no more than about 1/3 of the improvement on WAS or Java. (It is worth noting that Java6 will provides a 30% gain on P5+, and this is included above in the Java bar, but Java6 won’t be supported by WAS until v7, so the WAS bar does not reflect this.) SPECjBB2005 measured on 2-way 2.2 GHz (partition on 4-way 570+) – same system for V5R4 and V5R5. 18% gain from 64K pages. Trade6 2-tier JDBC native measured on 2w dedicated partition on an 8way 2.2 GHz – same system for V5R4 and V5R5. 3% gain from 64K pages. Don’t yet have measurements for Domino or SAP SD 2-tier on V5R5. PREVIOUS/OLDER projections chart notes: Quite a few improvements have already been made available via V5R4 PTFs.
