I don't believe that javac has undergone significant upgrades through the years... it's mostly things like syntactic sugar. The bytecode itself hasn't gotten too many updates over the years. In contrast, the interpreter and the JIT compilers have certainly been updated, optimized, debugged, etc. and so I would bet that each release of the JVM gets leaner and meaner. Of course, the JITs still operate on the same class files and bytecode so I would venture a guess that recompiling with the newer compiler would result in no measurable performance difference. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG+qyW9CaO5/Lv0PARAj03AKCBuEvTQbHn8czI+CLO7feMzhqFKgCgqGf6 IMJIxsdMnySWKe435kUB9+g= =zZlm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
