For example in our software (multi megabyte jars/cabs plus multi meg third party run in a browser), we can load a multi-thousand result set into a multi-column table with word wrap different coloring etc to be determined for each row in a few (2-3) seconds. The JVM can make a difference. The stats above are using Microsoft's VM. THe current Sun is almost as fast. Couple versions ago the Sun was a bit slower. The VM in Netscape 4.x was really slow. The above timing would probably come out to 6-8 seconds. bp --- You are currently subscribed to jdjlist as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
