Since flushing is a somewhat expensive operation (the session must dirty-check every entity in the persistence context), setting the flush mode to `COMMIT` can occasionally be a useful optimization.

.Flush modes
[cols=",,3"]
|===
| Hibernate `FlushMode` | JPA `FlushModeType` | Interpretation
| `MANUAL` | | Never flush automatically
| `COMMIT` | `COMMIT` | Flush before transaction commit
| `AUTO` | `AUTO` | Flush before transaction commit, and before execution of a query whose results might be affected by modifications held in memory
| `ALWAYS` | | Flush before transaction commit, and before execution of every query
|===
A second way to reduce the cost of flushing is to load entities in _read-only_ mode:
- `Session.setDefaultReadOnly(false)` specifies that all entities loaded by a given session should be loaded in read-only mode by default,
- `SelectionQuery.setReadOnly(false)` specifies that every entity returned by a given query should be loaded in read-only mode, and
- `Session.setReadOnly(Object, false)` specifies that a given entity already loaded by the session should be switched to read-only mode.
It's not necessary to dirty-check on entity instance in read-only mode.

There's no particular reason to prefer Hibernate's `CacheMode` to the JPA equivalents.
This enumeration only exists because Hibernate had cache modes long before they were added to JPA.

It's a good idea to set the `CacheStoreMode` to `BYPASS` just before running a query which returns a large result set full of data that we don't expect to need again soon.

This saves work, and prevents the newly-read data from pushing out the previously cached data. This saves work, and prevents the newly-read data from pushing out the previously cached data.
In JPA we would use this idiom:

But Hibernate has a better way:
