It depends on what the Swing app will be doing. If there isn't much user
interaction, you won't see much of a difference. But if there is, you'll
see a huge difference. For instance, I use an editor called "JEdit" on
my linux box. This involves a lot of scrolling and graphical operations.

Well, I did a very unscientific test of my own. I went through the
trouble of installing jdk118 for linux + Swing. Then I tried to run the
SwingSet examples. I run a Mandrake 6.0 machine, so it hung. At someone's
suggestion I replaced the libpthreads library with one from a RedHat 6.0
machine. jd

It does feel faster, once it gets going, but it seems like the first
time a given piece of code is run, there's a noticeable delay
(presumably because the JIT compiler is doing its thing). This occurs,
for example, the first time you bring up a dialog box in a Swing app.

Hello!
Quick question: the IBM JDK has shown *very* impressive benchmark results.
Now, in light of the recently postponed release date for potato (Debian), I'm
wondering if this is just a benchmark thing, or if it really "feels" faster
(such as scrolling in Swing for exmample)?
I can't decide wh
