You can even test by writing a simple cpu-intensive C program by yourself. Also i dont remember answering the /etc/malloc.conf question. Linking this to "aj" could make a *huge* difference (if you are on current). Also trying removing any debugging from your kernel. man 7 tuning is a good way to start. If your system proves to be *generally* slower than the rest 2, then we got a FreeBSD issue here. else it is a java-related matter. Anyway in the meantime i wish you to solve the problem and stick all the way with FreeBSD! > \n\n > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-java@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-java > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-java-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Achilleas Mantzios
