More info: JDK 1.3 and Sun's javac were used on all machines. While jikes will speed up the build, we're currently using javac for any builds at the integration level or above (test, production environments).
The chip on the Compaq machine is a Pentium III. Linux is not an option - the Unix group at our company has decided Linux is an unsupported OS. Question: If using the <parallel> task allows Ant to more effectively use MP, then why did the Win2K machine appear to do a much better job of distributing the load (without the <parallel> task)? As stated in my first post, both processors showed a 58% load. This is in contrast to the Sun E450 that had a 100% load on one processor while the other three had no load.

Are you talking about PIII or PIV with your W2K-Machine. Are you using Sun or IBM JDK? I don't know for the compiler, but normally IBM is faster.
