That means that I'm expecting threading performance to be much better than the clone() model when this is all done. Only an empirical analysis will prove or disprove this, but the claim makes sense since I've been in both the libc_r and HotSpot internals. KSE's should also make it rock. > But I dream of the day when FreeBSD is on equal ground (or better!) in > the Java arena We have a good chance of being exactly that. But a port of 1.4 is needed which means that we must have HotSpot working. -classic has been removed from that tree. NIO, SMPng and KSEs are all needed for this to come into play. We'll see. Personally, I'm getting pooped doing this and comtemplated quitting last night. I feel different today and I suspect I was suffering from depression as a result of caffine withdrawl. ;) But this project is definitely pushing to the edge of my inherent technical abilty and I not use to being overrun with this amount of technical knowledge. In other words, I'm use to conquering all. ;) bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
