Some months ago I read a blog post which had a comparison of different (Java) application servers, with focus on the time it took to start/restart the servers after deploying a new/changed piece of code, and a discussion of the lost developer productivity all this restarting caused.
I forgot to bookmark the blog post; I've tried Google, but I am not able to find the original article.
Has anyone else seen/read this article, or have links to similar articles/statistics?
I think you are looking for the "Survey Results: Java EE Containers – Heaven or Hell?" from the JavaRebel JRebel guys.
