I've got some really speedy code that runs on FreeBSD, but we optimized the crap out of it. (Not just for FreeBSD, but it turns out the optimizations made all platforms faster, and JIT's don't effect it much.) In any case, hopefully FreeBSD will catch up with a faster JVM. The 1.3 stuff is looking much better, if only we could get the licensing issues straightened out. (Is this too much to ask, after 3 years?) > Granted, speed isn't needed for all things. See above.
