As for Linux - well, I am 69 yoa and do find it hard to understand all that is going on in my PC at the moment - the thought of changing to Linux scares me
I would sooner try to learn more about memory leaks in Java and how to program Java better

Both laudable goals, but unlikely to help much in this particular case, I suspect.

Following complaints from customers my boss put a new team together to redesign and rewrite it. The new version did 4000 tps the very first time we ran it and on exactly the same hardware. Well designed code makes a big difference to performance.

Yes, you are absolutely right to assume that the original architecture & design were unsatisfactory, but that's my point really. In the OP's case we cannot say it is unlikely to be the code because we haven't seen it and furthermore the OP has stated that he would like to improve his programming which suggests that he has his own misgivings.

So instead you invest - by your own admission - man-years of code adjustments. Would that we could all do that and call it a success.

I think I've spotted the flaw in the planning there...
