After a brief introduction to a methodology to performance tune Java applications, the audience will guide me through the steps needed to tune an application. The application models a number of performance problems that are common in real world applications. During the session, I will introduce a number of “poor” (open source) tools that will be instrumental in helping you, the audience, diagnose and repair these problems.
