So, anyone know what the deal is with there *still* being no 64-bit "client" mode in OpenJDK? We're running into more and more folks on 64-bit platforms complaining about the poor startup, and the best suggestion we can offer them is to install a 32-bit JVM instead.
There's the possibility of the tiered compiler mode coming along soon, but is it enough? Does it work on 64-bit? I've previously posted about trying to tweak server mode to start up as fast as client mode, but I never really got there...and the set of switches I did come up with are too onerous for us to expect any user to figure out (or to set as default options, since the majority of them are Hotspot-specific). Anyone know what the hold-up might be? This affects all of us quite a bit, since we all have runtimes or additional class libraries to load, and we pay the price for a server-only 64-bit mode. - Charlie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
