End-to-end concurrent transaction limit enforcement + - Performance comparison between modes + - Timeout behavior validation + +3. **Configuration**: Current configuration approach is sound: + - `ojp.server.slowQuerySegregation.enabled` controls the feature globally + - `ojp.xa.maxTransactions` controls per-datasource XA limits + - `ojp.xa.startTimeoutMillis` provides timeout configuration + +4. **Monitoring**: Add metrics to track slot manager behavior in both modes for operational visibility + +5. **User Guidance**: Update user documentation to clarify that disabling slow query segregation in XA mode: + -
