title: nHibernate is painfully Slow
body: <p>We are trying to use nHibernate first time in my project in VS2010 and Oracle. </p>
  
  <p>Performance of the application is key criteria for acceptance of this project, should we use nHibernate in this project?</p>
  
  <p>We are going through POC.  we have a table with 250 columns and when trying to insert 500 records, application goes dead.</p>
  
  <p>Can some one suggest about performance comparison of nHibernate vs. PL/SQL CRUD.</p>
  
  <p>Not aware what parameter should we use in nHibernate configuration file to get optimum performance?</p>
  
  <p>We are using following configuration</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;hibernate-configuration xmlns="urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2"&gt;
    &lt;session-factory name="DefaultSessionFactory"&gt;
      &lt;property name="connection.provider"&gt;NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider&lt;/property&gt;
      &lt;property name="dialect"&gt;NHibernate.Dialect.Oracle10gDialect&lt;/property&gt;
      &lt;property name="connection.driver_class"&gt;NHibernate.Driver.OracleClientDriver&lt;/property&gt;
      &lt;property name="??;&lt;/property&gt;
      &lt;property name="show_sql"&gt;true&lt;/property&gt;
      &lt;property name="use_proxy_validator"&gt;false&lt;/property&gt;
  
    &lt;/session-factory&gt;
  &lt;/hibernate-configuration&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks in anticipation.</p>
