.netTiers vs SubSonic

Question

I had some time this afternoon to run a head to head comparison between netTiers and SubSonic.

I used code generated using SubStage (part of the SubSonic 2.1 release) and I used RepositoryRecord as my base class.

I ran the same test against the same database using code generated by .netTiers 2.2

The test was a derivative of the one that Rob Conery used in his post:

When i say derivative, I mean I just wrote 100,000 records into the database.

I repeated each test on the same PC three times.

I found that .netTiers accomplished the task in 90 seconds.

Subsonic completed it in 104 seconds.

There was no more than a one second deviation from these averages.

Answer 1

Is this a question? :)

As long as you steer cleer of the "deep" methods, and use judicial use of custom stored procs, I've always found netTiers performance to be fine.

Answer 2

Not sure if this is a question either, but if your intention was to find some big performance discrepancy among these 2 products, it seems that there's not much. So I would choose whatever offers me the best features for the task at hand.
