The new Linux uses a pretty decent JIT compiler that Sun compiled for them. Unfortunately, we don't have the resources inside of Sun to have this provided for us, and the source code to the JIT is not available for porting (at least that's the impression I get from talking to the Blackdown folks). However, you might try using one of the JIT's that support FreeBSD, such as TYA and/or ShuJIT to see how much performance advantage they give. Unless we get more 'vendor' support from Sun, we are essentialy JITless. I recomend all of you who have a vested interested in seeing FreeBSD better supported contact Sun and encourage them. This is how Linux got supported, so it might also work for us.. Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
