2.2. About Asynchronous Processes
For a typical write operation in Red Hat JBoss Data Grid, the following processes fall on the critical path, ordered from most resource-intensive to the least:
- Network calls
- Marshalling
- Writing to a cache store (optional)
- Locking
In JBoss Data Grid, using asynchronous methods removes network calls and marshalling from the critical path.
