The compilers won't make much difference to runtime speed. The fastest compiler I've seen is jikes (www.alphaworks.ibm.com) which is about an order of magnitude faster than javac and the compiled code of the one program I test it on is a little faster. jikes is now my preferred compiler. IBM has some other nice addons too including a GUI debugger written in java. Cheers John Summerfield http://os2.ami.com.au/os2/ for OS/2 support.
