On OpenBSD? Ok. I thought that there was not JDK at all on OpenBSD.

To be honest, I doubt that the performance hit is terrible. A native JDK has
the large advantage that you can actually fix bugs when you run into a
showstopper, which is a lot harder with the Blackdown JDK.

I used the native FreeBSD JDK for the longest time, although I switched to
the linux-1.3.1 JDK when I switched from Tomcat to Orion. At the end of the
day, performance is decided by my ADSL uplink and not by the speed of the
JDK. YMMV.
