  I wonder if you don't have a problem somewhere else: I tried on my
machine, home, and I don't even get one more cs per second when I launch
and use freecol. However, I did notice that, compared to work, I get
much more context switches on my home computer than here, which I
attributed to my video card.

  Could you be more precise: is it really linked to freecol (the number
of cs really changes noticeably ?) ? Could you try another graphical
Java application and check if that shows the problem (with the same
virtual machine as the one you're using for freecol, which really should
be Sun 6) ?

  Could you try to purge sun's java and reinstall it ? (I'm thinking it
might be due to local java configuration, but I'm not sure).

  Thanks,

        Vincent
