Package: sun-java6-bin Version: 6.22-1 Severity: normal Tags: squeeze The update from sun-java-6-bin to 6.24-1~squeeze1 severly slows down OO base performance.
Searching a string in an sql databse using java jre becomes a matter of minutes, not seconds. I noticed unusually high CPU load while the search is ongoing. Quite a lot of complaints about this performance drop since mid-February can be found in the official ooforum and in Ubuntu MM launchpad. Solutions where to exchange java6 with a different version from the official sun hp or from the ubuntu java ppa. I can't mix squeeze with those packages, so I reverted to sun-java6-bin 6.22-1 using the debian snapshot server and confirmed the search performance is now back to normal. Putting sun-java6-bin 6.22-1 on aptitude hold only can be a short term solution, I'll run into update problems sooner or later, if I keep it on hold for too long. Any comments and suggestitions what a squeeze user can do?
