rmic is way slow

[Jason Dillon]

I am running into a real bottleneck when compiling rmi applications
with: java_dyn full version "Linux_JDK_1.1.6_v2".  rmic takes forever to run on
a single class.  At first I thought it was just a jdk 1.x problem, but when
running sun's 1.1.6 rmic finishes in about 1/30th the time that Linux does.

Does anyone know if there is a way to speed up rmic on Linux?
