Hello,
The --enable-javac-server feature seems to be working well and is
providing considerable speedup when building the JDK. We should make the
option enabled by default.
As an example, on my local machine, a run of "make exploded-image"
without javac server took 00:04:09 and with javac server 00:03:20. On
machines with less cpus I have seen even bigger improvements.
