hmm, what kind of heavy use? We are using java version "1.6.0_05" for I think 6 Month now (since end of march 08) and we had not a single issue with it and found it better than 1.5. Considering that the whole 1.6 release was maintenance and performance release I would be surprised otherwise. It's actually first time I hear omeone complaining about 1.6 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode) Leon P.S. We are running about 70 VMs on about 20 machines with top services serving ~3000 requests per second and more with about 1000 threads. > > The latest JDK (1.6 update 10) is less than a month old - and it is a > huge change set from the previous 1.6 release (1.6 update 7).
