Mule

Recently I came across some slides [1] that investigaged about the Acute Sudden Death Syndrome in Mule, which stated increased respiratory rate, tremor, excessive sweating, and sudden death as symptoms.

No it was not about the Mule ESB folks' reaction to the recent article [2] about the performance of the WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) / Apache Synapse ESB against them ;)

We have just concluded the third round of Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) performance testing here at WSO2!

According to Frank Cohen, the recently concluded Mulecon attracted 400 delegates (including Mule staff?).. but soon Ross corrects this to say 250, but Dan seems to count only 200+.. erm.. is that including Mule staff?

I came across this post on the mule-user list recently, where a user questioned why Mule didn't encounter the issues we reported against Mule during our performance testing. Its been almost a year since I published two sets of benchmarks of Apache Synapse / WSO2 ESB against a leading commercial ESB, as well as Apache ServiceMix and Mule. We explained the scenarios, and made the code/configurations used publicly available, and even made the load generator tool (a Java clone of ApacheBench) available freely.
