use jikes to compile your java programs: it's an order of magntude faster.
See http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/
The enquiry was about jre, not jdk. When I'm compiling/testing, I want the
job donw quickly. For program execution, my programs have all night in
front of them: so long as they complete, I don't care much how long they
take.
Of course, where there's UI involved, application performance matters, but
I don't imagine Scot cares about that.
