<snip> It does take quite a bit longer to load the newer versions, and the 64 bit take longer to initially load than the 31bit ones, but the actually "execution" of "your" user Java code under the newer versions is quite a bit faster, especially between 1.4 and 1.6. There is a doc on the IBM site (I can't remember the name), but it was created for 1.6 and it compared execution environments to show what was faster under the "new" release. Everything was, but they didn't cover the load of the initial environment (probably because they already knew it was going to be slower). </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
