Nailgun is a fairly limited solution that isn't really comparable to fork: * There's no process isolation; one bad "nail" can seal the coffin. * There's no simple way to do prefork-style initialization; each "nail" must explicitly share the *same* in-memory resources, or initialize its own * Signal handling does not work properly across the nailgun process wire (could be improved, but it's still emulating signal handling atop a wire protocol) JRuby already ships with Nailgun, and we recommend it as a possible for solution to improve startup of quick tasks, but it's no fork. - Charlie _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
