Wow, interesting! That would provide a huge speedup for most apps, I would think. Interesting that for the server VM in 1.5 there's really no difference.
BTW I found this following Crazy Bob's blog: http://crazybob.org/2007/01/fast-reflection.html He seemed to get a 40% speedup on Java 5, but doesn't give details about the operation's he's using. There's a comment there also saying that if you turn off the security checks you can get close to direct speed (although Bob says he was doing that - maybe that's why he sees more difference than you). BTW mina-sm looks excellent, very interesting design. I haven't tried it but I'll play around with it if I get a chance. Cheers, Colin
