Thanks Andrew, I put the steps and log files here: http://www.bootchart.org/misc/ecj/ecj-native.html It seems that ecj was actually running native in both cases (with or without gnu.gcj.precompiled.db.path). Which, looking at the source code for com.sun.tools.javac.Main, seems right: @71 loader = new URLClassLoader(new URL[] { new URL("gcjlib://" + Config.ECJLIB_INST_DIR + "/" + libname)}); (libname being "lib-org-eclipse-jdt.so") Moving lib-org-eclipse-jdt.so out of the way speeds up gij/ecj considerably. Shouldn't precompiled libraries be configured in runtime, as opposed to in Main.java? And I'm not sure why it's actually faster when running interpreted. -- Ziga
