ReplyDeleteAlso, the new online home for NHibernate is at http://nhforge.org - plenty of great resources there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the talk the other night, it was really useful (I was the guy who ask you about the overhead of using nHibernate).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the intro to NHibernate/Fluent, and for uploading the support material.
ReplyDeleteI'm eager to compare performance benchmarks between the latest version of NHibernate and Subsonic 3.0, and of course Entity Framework.
Ian, thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteMatt, Tim, performance concerns do seem to be a concern of many people thinking of using an ORM. I can only talk about my own experiece which is that I've never had a serious problem with NH and performance, nothing that I wasn't able to easily fix, usually by choosing the right loading strategy. As with anything, premature optimisation is usually a mistake, it's far better to do the simplest thing possible and then profile and fix and bottlenecks as they arise. NH has enough extension points that you can pretty much always find a way to fix individual data access issues.
