Not. It seems JDK 1.1.8 just perhaps heaps better than > 1.2.2... isn't it just known fact that 1.2 is all times worst in term of performance? Using Windows as a references system (since I don't have access to a single Sun machine), I've noticed that 1.1 is the fastest, 1.3 is acceptable and 1.2 is ... well, I try not to use it. I agree that native FreeBSD port of 1.1.8 show very decent performance. Even on an "averagely high" PIII-500 AWT functions show very-very good performance. So what I'm getting at is: do we need a 1.2 port or is it better to concentrate on 1.3? I might be missing something important of course...
