On a semi-related thought... Will patchset 9 be adjusted for hotspot to u=
se=20
the system gcc on -STABLE (ie gcc 2.9 instead of 3.2)... And will it be=20
possible to have the JDK compiled so that -classic and -hotspot builds ca=
n=20
coexist?

I have successfully compiled up p8 on my box with the system compiler and=
 it=20
appears to work well. I have also examined the work in jdk1.4 and merged =
it=20
into 1.3 so that it no longer depends on the uthread_private.h kernel sou=
rce.

A "nice" little fun test for java is at www.motionplayground.com
With it, you notice that JDK1.3p8 is still way slower than JDK1.4p3
And that JDK1.3p7+tya can perform more smoothly than p8...
So - theres still some important issues in hotspot in 1.3.
(I used Konq to launch the applet)

TTFN, and thanks for the great effort :)
