The JDK1.1.7 port from blackdown does not come with a JIT compiler.
This will make it much slower than the Windows version which does
have a JIT compiler. You should also keep in mind that benchmarks
are almost always wrong. You need to see how the speed differs with
an application, not a benchmark.
