I didn't think it was a complaint at all... just can't see the logical
basis for it as a statement of fact.... perhaps "illogical" would have
been a beter word that "unfair".

This is tya1.3 & jdk117_v1a -vs- sunwjit & jdk1.2pre1 right??
Not to take anything away from Albrecht, but for anything _real_world_
Java2 (no matter what platform) is slower than jdk1.1.x.

There's the reference vs production issue Scott pointed out; which
I can whole-heartedly agree with. Plus the issue I just can't accept
as logical of comparing JITs across java levels... that just seems
too much like apples vs oranges to me. -=Chris
p.s. of course if you've been talking about tya on 1.2 this whole time
then I'll gladly retract this whole thread and shut up now.... :)
