[Question] - Standalone container performance

[mobilemindtec]

Issue description

I have a question about the performance of grails running a standalone container.

When I run ./gradlew bootRun my application responds 454413 in one minute. When I compile the application using ./gradlew war and run java -Dgrails.env=prod -server -Xmx2048M -jar build/libs/g6-app-0.1.war the same application only responds to 3132 requests in one minute.

I don't understand what it could be.

Grails 6.0.0
JVM java 20.0.2
Container Undertow

I believe a possible reason for this is here https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/16471

Generally in my projects I use a tomcat docker image and upload the ".war" to tomcat. Test to see the performance.

Hi,

I changed the build command to ./gradlew bootJar and ran the .jar instead of the .war. It seems that the slowness is related to .war. By making this change, the number of requests increased incredibly. Thanks!
