Documentation Time

I'm struggling with making my first draft to be as high-quality as I would like it, especially with my time limitations before and during break. However, getting comments on what I have right now will be very good for future writing as well. I'm currently running performance tests on the system. My current test case is a long one. It is for 3 dimensions, and runs over 25 requests for each of average cached hits of 0%, 10%, ..., 90%, and 100%. Then, I'll compile this information into pretty little charts in Excel, where I have tables waiting to be filled.

An important note: I had to ditch Hibernate for persistence. When I got it working, I was getting terrible results for timing, and it was almost purely to the fault of the persistence mechanism. So, I rebuilt my R-Tree with flat files (during a frantic code session last Saturday) but have been getting very positive results since then. Here are a few charts I have compiled based on other tests. These charts are based on my timing method, that sleeps for a constant time at the start, and then iterates over the volume of the request, sleeping for a linear value. The constant simulates overhead of data requests, while the linear simulates the time of the calculation and other performance issues rising from the size of the request. A larger linear value should have better results for the cache, while a larger constant will have less (since the constant will be multiplied by the number of uncached regions). The first two have a constant of 50, linear of 3, while the second pair has linear of 20.
