RE: [ANNOUNCE] ozone 0.5.5



if you go with 1.1 the ibm linux jdk v1.1.8 is by far the fastest, coming
very close to their windows and os/2 implementations ( which are considered
to be two of the fastest )

jdk 1.2.2 from blackdown includes the sunwjit ( symantec jit compiler ).
the sun supported version ( 1.2.2_006 ) is the same.  the best jit for 1.2
on linux is the Inprise/Borland javacomp jit, it's a lot faster ( using
caffeinemark ) than the sun/symantec one.  tya is good ( exceptional for a
clean room implementation, imho ). the sunwjit, i've noticed, is better at
awt graphics, but less so at overall speed.  

i'm sorry if this is not the place for a jvm discussion, but i thought i'd
share my experiences.

thanks,

aadi

As I told you already, use Sun or IBM jdk 1.3. I cannot believe that they
are
slower than 1.1 + TYA. Am I wrong? Do you have any benchmark results?
