Java Speed Increased

[Craig Oda <craig@example.com>]

I got this from Java World.  It is not yet relevant to Linux, but 
I'm still trying to get a body of info for the next meeting (Java
on Linux).

In addition to the Debugger, Borland will soon release its 
AppAccelerator, a new just-in-time (JIT)
compiler. With AppAccelerator, programmers using Windows 95/NT for Java 
development can achieve a
five to 10-fold performance increase in Java applications and applets. 
Even greater increases in speed
can be expected when executing computationally intensive code. 

"Having just-in-time compilers for Java is essential for delivering 
high-performance, cross-platform
execution," said Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Netscape. "We're excited 
about and supportive of
Borland bringing this technology to market so quickly." 


Announced is Java support for Version 3.0 of the Microsoft Internet 
Explorer Web browser (the current
alpha release of that version does not yet support Java). The browser 
will include a built-in just-in-time
(JIT) compiler to improve execution performance.
