Sun's engineers responsible for the Linux version of the Java runtime (J2SE JDK) recently wrote an article on how they worked with RedHat on the design of the new Native POSIX Thread Library that shipped with RH9. For those interested in threading issues on Linux and/or Java performance on Linux, it's at: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/JavaTechandLinux/RedHat/ The J2SE 1.4.2 Performance whitepaper linked in the above article is also worth reading if you are interested in that sort of thing. All I care about is that Java keeps getting faster, and for my app at least the 1.4.2 Linux JVM seems slightly faster than the Win32 one. Yet another reason to use Linux. ;-) Tom -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
