I don't think it's possible to accurately measure this information. The JVM bytecode is essentially an intermediate representation that the JVM takes and optimizes when compiling to native code. The cycles a given instruction takes will have little relation to the actual native code generated. > 2. Would anyone else find this information useful ? If it were possible to determine, yes :) But it's not. - Charlie _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
