I compared the compilation times for a simple HelloWorld class: ecj | ecj-native | jikes ------------------------------------------------------------- real 0m8.462s | real 0m8.624s | real 0m0.101s user 0m7.791s | user 0m8.230s | user 0m0.048s sys 0m0.093s | sys 0m0.083s | sys 0m0.006s (warm startups) I wanted to run the same test for the GNU Classpath library, but ecj kept throwing an internal compiler error (with or without your patch; I'll file a bug report). Anyway, the error is thrown after 32 seconds, while jikes compiles the entire library in 11 seconds. I suppose ecj would also profit from -O2? -- Ziga
