Its a combination I wouldn't have thought of not long ago, but when I tested it got request/response time very close to that of a ping. I agree that the trick about performance is don't assume, test because you will be surprised how often you would be wrong about these things. It keeps things interesting IMHO :) I recently got a significant improvement in performance using NIO in a blocking mode with one thread per connection.

Other than that, interesting article. Luckily for me, I never had a need for that low level programming. Interesting enough, I'm going to be doing the SCJD certification soon, and in the requirements is explicitly stated that no java.nio is allowed. Instant fail if you do (but it also mentions that you need to use the JTable). It seems that the link to the “Thousands of Threads” slides is broken.
