The results above show that in general OpenJPA with H2 embedded is more efficient than EclipseLink with HSQLDB server in performing JPA database operations.
A large performance gap has been detected when using simple basic entities with small transaction/retrieval size. Comparing the normalized speed of EclipseLink with HSQLDB database server (5.4) to the normalized speed of OpenJPA with H2 embedded database (19.4) reveals that in that case, OpenJPA with H2 embedded is 3.6 times faster than EclipseLink with HSQLDB server.
