Apparently turning off the garbage collector is not a valid option. The idea is instead to have a realtime friendly gc with known maximum latency. A starting point for the proposed extension can be found here: http://www.rtj.org/ .. and here: http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~corsaro/jRate/index.html .. and with a warning for a silly, non realtime, slow loading applet even here: http://tao.doc.wustl.edu/rtj/ mvh // Jens M andreasen
