Is there any faster select method?

SELECT:

TypedQuery<Point> query = em.createQuery(
    "SELECT p FROM Point p WHERE p.id = " + element.getId(), Point.class);
List<Point> points = query.getResultList();

WRITE:

em.persist(p);

** the Point class is of the tutorial.

I found the above select method is ten times slower than the write method, in my very simple benchmark.

I guess the reason there is no SQL in the write method.

Is there any faster method of select?

TIA

Entity objects can be retrieved by their primary key (object ID) directly using the find method,  so in this specific case you don't need a SELECT query.

By the way, an invocation of persist is very fast because it is a memory operation, so actually you should compare commit operations and not persist operations with query execution.
