The Atlassian release of Jira 8 advertises, among other things, a significant improvement in performance. In CoreIT s.r.o. we did not let trust to him so much and we checked it out ourselves. We created two identical instances - version 7.13 and version 8.0 - and tested several performance factors that showed the improvement is indeed noticeable. Proof can be seen in the picture below.

Maybe later with 8.1 ans I also think it's already supported, but it's not. I tried run it with Java 11, but I got error for 2 system plugins with "We haven't been able to start all the required system plugins"

Hi @Evgeniy_Russkikh

so I just tried thi with 8.1 EAP03 (so really early version of Jira 8.1) and results are worst in compare of Jira 8.0 and also 7.13 with Java 1.8. I will update results when 8.1 will be published, because for now it could be becasue of early development state.
