I think so. Unless you're on a P-III 500 mhz with 256 megs of RAM... (I'm
guessing this has nothing to do with the Linux port, but rather with JDK 1.2 in
general).

The JIT is on by default.

If you do some experimenting, you'll notice that JDK 1.2 with JIT enabled is
*much* faster than JDK 1.1.7+TYA when it comes to loops and stuff like that.
But when method calls come into the picture, I've found it to be about as
fast as, or a bit faster than, JDK1.1.7+TYA.

Sadly, it's also a huge memory hog compared to 1.1.7, so on my machine any
larger app is much slower on 1.2.
