Yet here I am on 4.5 watching the port building. Not wishing to be pissy, but what happened about this? Oh, and have there been any performance tests done of native 1.3.1 vs IBM1.3.1 on linux emulation (assuming 4.5-R)? I have some people wanting to stick their Java app on FreeBSD, with me admin'ing the whole thing and I'm trying to work out what I've let myself in for. Put it this way: They're software developers and they *admit* to it being CPU intensive...
