[EsiGate-devel] Jetty 8 and 9 : new and interesting features

[Nicolas R. <nic...@gm...>]

Hi all, 

We are using jetty for esigate-server module (standalone). 

- The new jetty 9 is in RC [1] , with  Better performances [2]  : 

" Thus for a small increase in static heap usage (0.5MB in the static Tries), jetty-9 out performs jetty-8 by 30% faster (33.5s vs 48.6s) and 50% less YG garbage (1409MB vs 2914MB) which trigger less than half the YG collections."

- Jetty 8 (current) has support for SPDY v3

I think we should try jetty 9 as soon as possible, give a way to enable spdy support easily, do some testing tomcat vs jetty and increase production-like testing on esigate-server. 

Having a good and fast standalone esigate server seems important to me. 
Any thoughts ?
