I run the jdk1.4.1 on both 4-stable and 5-current, but it is noticably faster on the 5.0 current with the threading model. However, you really want to wait until there is a 5-stable for a production system. (Which is "soon"...) Don't try to benchmark on the current 5.0 system since by default it has debugging built into the kernel which slows it down. (Unless you want to rebuild the system and remove all debugging) BTW, I run a 5-current system at home, no debugging, stable kernel and yes, the native jdk1.4.1 port does kick some ass. I don't have a windows box to compare it too, but it works better then RedHat 8. (Which now I only have on a laptop that my wife uses.) I still want to find a MP AMD system to test, though... that's the real test. > -- Thus, Thorsten Mauch had said: > Hi all > I suffer a lot from the absence of native java threads in Linux.
