In case anybody else runs into this, it's evidently a bug in the SUN 1.3 JDK.

Under Win2k, when I set JAVA_HOME to run Tomcat 4.1 with the IBM 1.3 JDK, the page executes almost instantaneously, but when I set JAVA_HOME to the Sun JDK 1.3.1, it takes about 5 seconds to load. Does the IBM jdk handle the compilation differently (the compiled size is about the same either way), or is there a switch that's on by default with the IBM JDK that improves performance over the Sun JDK?
