1024 K is still relatively small compare to a heap size of 512M.  The
fact is that Duron is really the low-end of AMD processor family.  It
shouldn't be used for any serious computing purpose.  I'd like to
suggest doing the test at least on an Athlon.  Hardware is really cheap
nowadays.

I have downloaded : J2SE(TM) Development Kit 5.0 Update 5
Linux self extracting file (although I think I should have get the rpm).

I've extrated it in a separate directory and set JAVA_HOME in tomcat to
point to that dir.

Does it make any difference other than the fact that this way it is not
rpm compliant?

This is even worse for my AMD Duron
cache size      : 64 KB

but on the other machine I have :
cache size      : 1024 KB
and still get the same results.
