Choose the proper level of security
The security features of WebSphere Application Server provide important protection against unauthorized use of resources. While not advocating that security be completely disabled, there are various security mechanisms available, each of which adds additional processing.
For example, use Application Security instead of Java™ 2 Security because Application Security is much more efficient.
You must give careful consideration to which of the WebSphere Application Server security features are activated. To some extent, these are configured in the administrative console under the Security section, but some aspects of security are configured at application assembly and deployment time.
