Yeah I did mean "Greg" :) Sorry Greg! And I think you mean "far" not "for" =P

Okay, but this is good news. I'm looking forward to a port. I must say that I
find the JDK I'm using (ps 9) very stable. I've used it for a couple of
months, without any problems. And Swing apps are *much* faster than on
Blackdown 1.2.2 RC3, but about the same speed as on the Sun Linux 1.3.0 JDK
(pre-release). I assume a native FreeBSD JDK 1.3 might give us a major
performance increase then :) I run all JDKs without a JIT.

Ernst
