Isn't the latest JDK 1.3 from Sun or IBM a HotSpot compiler? This is what I get when I run java -version: Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0beta_refresh-b09) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0beta-b07, mixed mode) I observed _huge_ performance improvements in the speed of my programs when I run with this version. Sometimes even three times faster than JDK 1.2.2 on my Linux box.
