Steve,
Thanks for the results... now you've really complicated the results tables,
by adding VM versions! ;-) I'll add these ASAP.
Did the GC performance improve at all? Some people may be willing to
sacrifice a few FPS if the pauses for GC are minimal.

I found similar results. HotSpot didn't seem to
speed up Java3D. Here are my scores on the tornado
labs benchmark, before and after HotSpot.
