This image shows the WebLogic server start times as the latency to the database grows, for different initial size values in all the data sources 11 data sources in total).

The y-axis shows Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS) start time in seconds.

The x-axis shows latency between WLS and Oracle Database as round-trip time (RTT) in milliseconds.

The chart includes three series: Initial capacity default values, Initial capacity 15, and Initial capacity 30.

All series increase as latency increases:

Initial capacity default values stays near 80 to 82 seconds across the measured latencies.
Initial capacity 15 remains between Initial capacity 30 and Initial capacity default values with a moderate increase.
Initial capacity 30 shows the largest start times and the steepest increase.

The three series together show that larger initial capacity makes start time longer and more sensitive to latency.
