Hi Mariano,
I have worked the last days on a generic connection pool for Pharo. The objective is to improve performances for an application that uses a network data source (databases, LDAP, etc.).
My work is now stable and the gain of performances is good. For exemple, I have a benchmark that uses a SqueakDBX/PostgreSQL database and a LDAP directory. Without the pool, the test take 6,61s, with the pool, only 0,367s :-)
I have made many stress tests for testing the fiability. This morning, the connection pools has processed 270000 requests without problems.
I think that my project can interest you. I don't know if the code is ready for production.
The projet is on squeaksource and I have added your account (and Stef also) as Guest. MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/FasterThatLight' user: '' password: '' Thanks for remarks and critics.
Best regards Olivier
