If you failed to notice that the results are unchanged, yes.Again, it's in the stuff you instantiated in the first place. Have I missed that point?You seem to have missed the point about bloat and sluggishness. MUAs written in GTK+/C (Balsa, Cronos II, Paranoy, Spruce, Sylpheed), or FLTK/C++ (Post Office), or WINGS/C (Aileron, YPMail.app), or GNUstep/Obj-C (GNUMail.app), or GTK+/wxWindows/Python (Mahogany), or GTK+/Perl (Pronto, SoapyMailer) are all many times lighter and faster than any of the Java ones. Heck, even the Qt/C++ ones (Aethera, Kiltdown, Liamail) can typically manage a 2-to-3-times improvement.Well of course they are lighter and faster because all of them are native! try porting them in Windows and see if things are still the same.
if you'll be using an emulator or anything similar, Yes the app will be slow
otherwise No coz i've tried porting a linux app to windows (FLTK + ... )
and the performance is A o.k.
But java won't change a bit or very little to be noticed regardless of OS.
correct!, it will still be slow, right? :)
let's wait for the machines to mature. :)
