With the release of the AspectWerkz 2.x first release candidate, we felt it was important to be able to track down performance results of the framework, as well as provide a place to compare it to other implementations like AspectJ, JBoss AOP, Spring, DynAOP and CGLib.

AWbench project has been started for that purpose and the first results have been published today.

In this report we explain what AWbench microbenchmark is about, and provides element of comparison for performance of

• AspectWerkz 2.x and 1.0
• AspectJ
• JBoss AOP
• Spring
• DynAOP
• CGLib
• AspectJ, Spring and AOP Alliance aspects running in AspectWerkz 2.x extensible container

We will include any fix, new implementation, or hand written version of the microbenchmark that will be contributed.
