Now JOSM is compiled with Java 6 in Java 5 compatibility mode and users like me run it with Java 6. Aside from the developers being able to use neat Java 6 features will the existing Java 6 users notice any speedup differences as a result of this? I.e. does java6-as-5 generate dumbed-down bytecode that java5 that might be replaced by fancier and faster java6-as-6 instructions? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
