Domain.xml Configuration Node

This node configures the pathes where those objects (in this case actions, users collection, etc...) are stores.

all-methods-in-transactions

<parameter name="all-methods-in-transactions">true</parameter>

Supposedly you can set this to "false" to allow read-only methods to execute without being in a transaction. Some initial testing shows this to be somewhat true, but the results are pretty sporadic and may cause your slide instance to be unstable regarding performance (i.e. 1 sec response once, then a 40 sec response another time -- compared to 3 sec static average when set to "true").
