Use Netty as a backend instead of java.io for much more efficient networking.

Netty handles threading very well, unlike java.io sockets. Currently there is a large bottleneck in terms of single CPU performance due to usage of these old APIs.

Yes, I was thinking of using Netty, but I am not that well familiar with it. If you could help, that would be great (on a seperate branch first).

I am finishing my version of JRakLib fully using ionetty, I'll publish it here when committing, not using while (true), is in the final version already, I'm just packing up some minor bugs, performance is very good, very low CPU usage.

@jython234 you could create a new branch, named ioNetty ? thanks

[alejzeis]

@net32 Done.

Does the netty branch really improve performance?

I tested it and it actually appeared to be slower than master. On Nov 29, 2015 6:17 PM, "SenanYT" notifications@github.com wrote:

If used correctly, Netty should provide better performance.
