Hi Mariano, Thanks for your response! I will take a look at the presentation.
I was hoping for some more concrete experience with the Green Software Lab benchmark. It's not a priority at the moment, but hopefully I'll get back to this in the near future. I'll report back with any findings. Kind regards, Jonathan van Alteren Founding Member | Object Guild B.V.
