A number of folks pointed out in reply to my earlier note
that the Linux JDK does not provide a default JIT. I ran
tests with the TYA JIT on Linux and with the JIT on Win98
disabled. While the results on Win98 did slow down to
almost exactly the same speed as Linux, the converse was
not true.
Embedded CafineMark 3.0 with TYA JIT - 2586
Applet CaffineMark 3.0 with TYA JIT - 1475
Thanks to those who pointed out the JIT issue.
