Actually, they allocate more processors on the e10k's, but that's a different
story. ;-) They _are_ a hardware shop, afterall...
(Sun deals with stability, jdk1.3 isn't as stable yet as 1.2.1. That's why
it's beta on Solaris and linux.)
FYI, how much speed are you talking about? Most applications (web and
other non-gui) don't use what's currently available. If you're hitting
a wall, you may need a more distributed architecture. If you're writing
Quake in Java, there's a big wall...
One more point, (someone correct me if I'm wrong) this list is for native
ports of the Java VM's to FreeBSD. I think there is a different mailing
list for the linux emulation. (freebsd-emulation) I do emulate the
jdk1.3 port for certain builds myself, (jBoss can only be built using jdk1.3,
but runs fine under java1.2.2p9). Personally, I'd rather help the group
get Java 1.2.2 working anyways, rather than skip to Java 1.3. Let the
linux folks help sun workout some of the 1.3 bugs before we try. ;-)
