Is this right? That is correct, but we weren't that much slower than the Linux JDK, which *does* use the assembly language version of executeJava. My comparison's of the FreeBSD JDK vs. the Solaris one with the JIT disabled show us *slighly* faster for most things (except networking...). I believe the reason we're so slow for networking is due to using select and not having a good multi-threading library.
