Being efficient on the server side

Ted Neward gives an interesting explanation of how to properly use a server-side JVM. Now, for folks not interested in Java (like me) that looks like gibberish. But what he's talking about is significant for other environments as well. As more people move to scripting and other dynamic environments they need to pay attention to making it work well instead of just making it work.

All too often programmers make the classic mistake of thinking making something that "runs" means it's "done". We should be so lucky.

So all you folks running mod_perl, IIS and, in this case, Java, take a close look at what you think is going on.
