[kreactor]

in the mean time, the sun java installed is sloooooooooooooooow to load w/ yahoo games

is there anyway to to reinstall msjvm? or make sun java run faster?

thanx

edit: tried this, seem to be wee bit faster

Modify the jvm.cfg file in your Java installation. (It's a text file, so you can use Notepad or Emacs to edit it.) This is located in C:\Program Files\Java\j2reXXX\lib\i386\ on Windows, /usr/java/j2reXXX/lib/i386/ on Linux. You will see two lines:
-client KNOWN
-server KNOWN
You should change them to:
-server KNOWN
-client KNOWN

I thought the MSJVM had major security issues, at least without some patching. I don't believe I've seen that on a windows install since Win2000 or even Win98. Wasn't it discontinued for a while now?

Anyway, yeah Sun Java is pretty damn slow overall. Its suppose to be getting better, but for how long I've used it, it was slow and still is slow (tho there may be different types of slow ). One thing though, are you updated to the newest JRE? I think its 1.5.0_06 at the moment.

The MS Java machine is installed in XP retail. It hasn't been updated in ages since the legal spat. No it didn't have "major security issues" it was just that Sun didn't want MS extending functionality.

You should install Sun and go with that.

As a Java programmer I find Sun Java 1.5.x (or even 1.4.2) far superior to MS Java in features _and_ speed. What exactly is running slow for you? Is this slow? The bugs in that thing are my fault btw, not the VM.

I actually find it very difficult to target MS Java these days, the lack of a decent timer (and much other funtionality) makes it all but impossible to write a quality real-time graphical game.

/edit: damn backward AT link syntax. should be <L=url>text</L>.
