I don't notice it being any slower than the stock JDK on Solaris running on similar hardware. Also, it's about as fast as most other OS's JDK's using the standard 'benchmarks' available. Are you using netscape 4 or netscape 3? If netscape 3, then the difference is probably one of JDK1.0 vs. JDK1.1. JDK1.0 is much smaller, and hence much faster. :( Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
