| Well, this is quite a surprise.
The little application I was testing was running about 1.5 seconds on average with the previous Java. This update 2 reduced the run time down to 0.5 seconds. For comparison, the same app on a 2.4GHz P4 has been running 0.4 seconds, and 0.1 seconds on a 3.0GHz P4.
I need to try some other of my bigger, piggier Java applications to see if I see any noticable difference. I also have a less efficient version of this little tool I was testing with that might show a bigger percentage difference, too. |
