I do my development on both WindowsNT 4.x and Linux. I can not speak for others, but my experience has been that the new HotSpot JRE is quite fast and a far better solution than the old JIT solution. (I do not belive there is a JIT solution for Linux.) Depending on what is being run, the HotSpot JRE may be dramatically faster than JIT. I am sure there are folks out there that would debate the issue, but I recommend you do yourself a favor, get the new HotSpot JRE for Linux, and if you ever use Windows, get it for windows too. Forget about converting byte-code to machine code, it may not improve your performance, and is truly not the best solution for Java development, i.e. one of the powers of Java is that it does not depend on the OS. If you really need to improve performance, use faster algorithms. ;-) >>> Alain Muls <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3/12/2001 2:39:52 AM >>> Hello I am coworking on a Java project. My colleague uses JBuilder v4.0 on Windows NT while I work withXEmacs/JDE/jikes on Linux. All works OK but I have to conclude that the running of programs on the system of my colleague is much faster than on my linux system. I guess this has to do with the absence of a JIT compiler on my system. Where can I find a good JIT compiler for my combination? As a second question, are there good converters from byte-code to machine code for Linux and Windows? Thanks
