Not sure what you mean, but yes, that measurement was taken with the HotSpot Client VM. The startup time difference between Sun's VM and ikvm isn't due to HotSpot though. Class loading is just very slow on ikvm, because it has to convert the Java classes into .NET classes and then the .NET runtime has to load those, plus the fact that my verifier/compiler isn't very fast either and I probably have to load more classes than the Sun VM (because I cannot be as lazy as I would like to, due to the design of the dynamic code generation support in .NET).
