Wich problem do you say they've fixed? threads under linux? i've done some tests with a redhat 6.2.(sorry i can't remember exactly the kernel version) and jboss, and only at start time it was about three times slower than the same jboss in a windows 2000. If with the new kernel versions it runs more efficiently, it would be great because i'm a linux fan that has been forced to use windows by this problem... XD
