[jCharts-users] jchart speed and scalability

[<dea...@ve...>]

hi folks,
I just got the jCharts0.7.4 up and running using jboss3.2.1 on both linux
and solaris boxes (JDK1.4.1_02) using the supplied example WAR package.  I
am rather new to using java servlets let alone jcharts, but I would like to
know if there are any benchmarks out there on how fast these charts are
generated.  For example, let's say we only want to generate a line chart
(X,Y) with 95 data points using servlets instead of jsp.   Now, excluding
any startup-time delays due to the java servlet engine, how fast could the
graph be rendered (e.g in comparison to perl/GD and/or Jfreechart)?  Now,
how about scalability, let's just say same question except many more users
accessing different graphs at the same time.  In a multi-processor
environment, is scalability mostly dependent on the java servlet engine?
Also, same question but without using servlets or jsp or any java
application server at all?  I know benchmarks are very difficult to do, but
I'm just looking for a rough estimate.  I'm going to run some of my own
testing and benchmarks soon also.  Thank you.
