Just to pass my results on compilation times using different compilers with Ant:
Ant with Jikes takes 2 minutes of compilation time,
against 5 minutes of Ant with JDK1.2.2-07.
Now more details about the setup:
Medium project, around 6 different Java source trees, in
six different modules (each source tree is a different jikes
proccess spawned).
5 EJBs being compiled for WebLogic (each one is a different jikes
process spawned).
Operating system: Solaris.
I use Jikes only for development as it is FAAAASST!!!! For production code,
I build with the JDK, as it is going to run with the JDK.
