David Xu confirmed for me that pthread_yield() does give some

are two patches for the 1.5 port that is how I suggest the issue be
addressed.
For 7.0 and up default UseThreadPriorities to true and always
use pthread_yield(). For < 7.0 default UseThreadPriorities to
false and conditionally use pthread_yield()/os_sleep(). User's
can toggle UseThreadPriorities with the command line argument
-XX:+UseThreadPriorities
Do we know that 6.x requires the old behaviour? Maybe it can default to
on there too. Otherwise this looks good to my eyeball (but the
DEFAULT_LD_LIBRARY_PATH change looks unrelated)
-#define DEFAULT_LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/usr/lib" /* See ld.so.1(1) */
+#define DEFAULT_LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib" /* See
ld.so.1(1)
Yea I messed up the DEFAULT_LD_LIBRARY_PATH part. I didn't intend
to change that segment of the existing os_bsd.cpp patch.
Regarding 6.x it either needs UseThreadPriorities defaulted to false
or the os_sleep hack. After discussing the options with Daniel we
agree that defaulting UseThreadPriorities to false and eliminating
the os_sleep hack for all versions is the most consitant approach.
The following is a CVS diff of ports/java/jdk15 that updates the
port to fix the performance issue plus an alternative method
to setting DEFAULT_LD_LIBRARY_PATH without patching and
substituting it:
This looks good to me, thanks!
