I gave the 1.1 line a shot, but still saw abysmal results ... I sent Wolfgang (the lead guy) my marcxml records and he implemented it in my development environment and found the same issues. The major problem with it all is the ugly mess that is marcxml and it's "incompatability" with native xml dbs. Although, I still have some ideas that I have not had a chance to test yet under the 1.1 branch. I just finished coding our beta OPAC, so I am now heading back into my load & scalability testing. I am using Berkely DB XML which beats the pants off of eXist in performance but has no where the feature set of eXist. I plan to re-test eXist 1.1 on my production server so I can get a better handle on the speeds on a machine with a bit more beef. I am also going to give this Nux a shot too. Anyone out there using it? http://dsd.lbl.gov/nux/index.html
