Thanks for the great port in Version 4a!
It fixes that socket timeout bug I reported here back in October 1997
against JDK 1.1.3. I was unable to reproduce the problem at all outside
of the VolanoMark benchmark or our VolanoChat product, but I'm grateful
someone figured it out.
Using the same VolanoMark 2.0.0 Build 137 that I used in my August
JavaWorld article, I get the new scores shown below -- a 37% performance
improvement over JDK 1.1.6 Version 2! From the stress tests I've run,
it seems to be very stable as well.
VolanoMark 2.0.0 Build 137 Loopback Test
Java virtual machine Scores Average (best 2 of 3)
-------------------- ------------- ---------------------
Linux JDK 1.1.6 v2 230, 234, 233 234
Linux JDK 1.1.6 v4a 317, 321, 319 320 (+ 37%)
For the details on the test, see:

If anyone on the Blackdown Java-Linux Porting Team wants a copy of
VolanoMark 2.0, please let me know.
Thanks again,
