That raises a point of curiosity for me. There's a GPL'd compiler, Kopi (http://www.dms.at/kjc/), that Kaffe is apparently considering adopting. I've played with it a little... seems to run faster than javac. Kopi puts some effort into optimization, and I'm curious if anyone has tried it and has opinions.
