It's perfectly ok to use it for development, and running lightly-loaded applications, but if you have to run heavy stuff on it, today I'd recommend against. :(( If I understand it correctly, this has a lot to do with two issues: * it's not JDK1.2, which is working much faster. You can try it out with Blackdown JDK1.2 which is running on FreeBSD as well. * well-designed kernel threads can provide much better performance for I/O bound applications. The solution to this is on the way, but not yet there...
