Try disabling the JIT on Blackdown and/or Sun's JVM before running it and be suprised. (And I'm being serious here. Swing apps and the JIT tend to be at odds, for JDK1.2. JDK1.3 is supposedly better with HotSpot, although I have no direct experience to verify that.) > I assume a native FreeBSD JDK 1.3 might give us a major performance > increase then :) I run all JDKs without a JIT. Hmm, I'm actually suprised that the Linux JVM's are that much slower on Swing apps w/out a JIT. Are you *SURE* there is no JIT being used?
