It's true.
My interpretation of Sun's documents:
In the more recent versions of Java (1.4, 1.5, etc.), the runtime analysis in
the -server option of Sun's Hotspot JVM is able to do several different types
of optimization around potentially final and mostly final methods. The

There are roughly two types of approaches to bettering the skill of
computer go solutions; incremental and breakthrough. I think for
incremental solutions, ones where lots of work results in small shifts
in better go playing performance, you are correct. Any optimizations

execution paths and data flows. Just figured that it would matter in
C++/C in a similar way.

Where's the notion that through small increments, there is no reasonable path

The purpose of investment is to generate a return exceeding the original

I would NOT recommend this site. It was last updated in '98. Many of

Another option is to use a VM, MS's Virtual PC (free), VMWare's offering (free
for non-commercial use) or any of the flavors of the open source Xen.

I would figure that given the popularity of both Eclipse and git, the problems
connecting the two easily, similar to the way Eclipse and Subversion connect,
will be solved sooner rather than later. And once they are, it won't be too

If it doesn't work on Wine, you could always load a VM, like Sun's VirtualBox,
install a copy of Windows in that and play from there. VirtualBox has very good
performance metrics at above 95% of max (non VM) speed. And there's plenty of
