I still think it's bad of Omnicore to not give that comparison on the front page though, where they have the ridiculous apples-to-oranges single-data-point benchmark. Oh, and while I'm talking about the forums - I personally believe that they're going about things entirely the wrong way by replacing the *whole* of Ant instead of supplying a library. They say that they need a patch to the javac task in order to work, and that's fine - but it would be better if they'd submit that patch to the main trunk. If you agree with me on this, making some noise on their forums wouldn't hurt at all :) (It's under the "license" thread, IIRC.)
