What exactly is your hardware configuration? I tried Kaffe 1.04b and it not
only showed a huge apetite for memory (testing with JMeter at the default
time intervals, 20 threads) showed it grew from about 8MB to 69MB in less
than a minute, using the Hello example servlet, bringing the whole machine
to a halt. Also, it did not run our servlets, which use Oracle JDBC classes,
claiming errors in our query statements (the same servlets run fine on
Apache+JServ on Win32 and Linux, using Hotspot, IBM JDK-1.1.8, Microsoft's
JView and Sun's JDK 1.1.6 and 1.2. Although I really don't believe the JDBC
problems are related to our hardware (a lousy K6-2 with 64MB RAM), I really
would like to know how you managed to have Kaffe perform well.
