I think I see indirect evidence of the IBM/intel/linux 118 jvm
using PII instructions - see the RESAMPLE benchmark at
www.idiom.com/~zilla/Computer/javaCbenchmark.html
This is a synthetic benchmark available in java and C++ versions.
On a PII machine the java code runs faster than the C++ code
that is compiled with g++ -O!
I assume this must be due to the jvm using PII instructions while
the g++ -O assuming only pentium IS without additional flags.
