It is not that bad! sunwjit also hangs after all, isn't it?
In my opinion, even such a release would make sense, since it could point out even
more problems (and thus expedite the route to final release), and even unveil some
jdk problems.
BTW, I am not using EXC_BY_SIGNALS, since I tend to make funny uses of
NullPointerException and ClassCastExceptions and having defined EXC_BY_SIGNALS
crashes tya - which is not exactly the desired effect as in most cases I intend to
catch these ugly Runtime exceptions and recover (if possible of cource, but when you
catch these things it means you can really recover from them!). And in general, green
threads work nice for my apps (I am so entrenched in using my Round-Robin scheduler
that I tend to forget I can use -native)
As for the speed, I am so much dissapointed from sunwjit's performance (the damn
thing crawls) that I won't see the difference ;-}
Oh, there is one difference : I feel better if I have a slow GPL implementation than
having a comparably slow propriety implementation...

Definetely!
