5.0 out of 5 stars practical tips for advanced Java programmer
The book gives good overview of Java performance bootleneck stemming both from the language design constraints and the inherent design issues in distributed systems. What I like best is a list of practical implementation tips, which this book abounds with. Those tips would be a usefull addition to anybody's Java Coding Standards.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much overview
There isn't enough detail for my tastes. The EJB chapter is brief at best with very few actual tips. I would recommend Dov Bulka's book (even though there isn't any EJB in this book either)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for dealing with performance., September 14, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Enterprise Java Performance (Paperback)
This book did a really good job in explaining the concepts of performance. It had good specific examples, but also showed how to deal with performance in general. The chapters on performance tools and how to benchmark code were particularly helpful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay Away, February 12, 2004
This review is from: Enterprise Java Performance (Paperback)
The only thing I learned from this book was the use of the -verbose:gc Java command-line option that prints a report to syserr each time the garbage collector runs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thinking in a business way, October 25, 2000
By 
This review is from: Enterprise Java Performance (Paperback)
This is a good book that covers a wide range of enterprise-wide design and performance. An advanced programmer will sure be able to get something useful from it. However, it doesn't cover many advanced details of the latest Java technologies.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not bother, September 17, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Enterprise Java Performance (Paperback)
This is a very poor book. It is very much a beginners book and it does not do anything but state the bleedin obvious.
