What 'benchmarks' could i use, and would you have a chance to run things under netscape and see if there is a difference. > Are you using netscape 4 or netscape 3? If netscape 3, then the netscape3 -- I hate it when the new version of a program is twice the size of the previous one. When i have the need for the new features i will consider paying the penalty. > difference is probably one of JDK1.0 vs. JDK1.1.
