It would seem so, as I now learnt that The HotSpot JVM uses native threads. The only possible escape then would be to use another JVM that doesn't on OS X. But I'm not sure how advisable that is. Anyone uses alternative JVMs on OS X out there? I downloaded "AppPerfect Test Studio" <http://www.appperfect.com/ products/devsuite/jp.html> to see if I can build a test case and test my current server and perhaps make comparisons with some of the suggested Java DBs later. AppPerfect support was very helpful suggesting test methods. Anyone out there testing their webapplications with this product? I wonder how much faster Linux could run on my G3 server hardware. I would have lots of work replacing all the built in services in Mac OS X Server to give me all that control also in Linux, buy maybe I have to. I'm a bit cashstrapped for new hardware, so I need to get as much performance I can. Or perhaps I should try to get a PC just for the DBs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
