it depends what your worker method is doing. If you have a method that keeps allocating more memory, than you should see the free memory decrease. If on the other hand your worker method calls some system methods to do some work, than the outcome is implemenation specific. Kaffe's implementation of the system methods could be more efficient than Sun's, and don't require new objects to be instantiated, for example. best regards, dalibor topic __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
