no problem, I am glad that you and others are working to improve
both YaCy and the Free Software Java implementations.

My knowledge is too limited to really judge this, my aim was to 
at least point the relevant groups to YaCy and some of the issues.

Very cool to see progress here.
Doing such a page in English would help to put more people in the loop.

Results seem to be slightly better compared to my tests
with jamvm and jikes (both also Free Software of course).
The page states that there is an out of memory after 2 hours
of operation which still makes it unsuitable for real use.

Thanks to all again to creating Free Software!

Best,
Bernhard
