for example: [pasko 13:51:19 dacapo]$ $HARMONY -showversion -XX:jit.arg.dump_abcd_stats=true -Xem:server -jar dacapo-2006-10-MR2.jar antlr Apache Harmony Launcher : (c) Copyright 1991, 2006 The Apache Software Foundation or its licensors, as applicable. java version "1.5.0" pre-alpha : not complete or compatible svn = r554009, (Jul 17 2007), Linux/ia32/gcc 4.0.3, debug build http://harmony.apache.org ===== DaCapo antlr starting ===== Running antlr on grammar antlr/cpp/calc.g ANTLR Parser Generator Version 2.7.5 (20050128) 1989-2005 jGuru.com [pasko 13:52:03 dacapo]$ this is a failure ("PASSED" was not printed) ..but the version is rather old.

That is good! There should be no boost or degradation.
