RE: iSeries JVM version

["Pete Helgren" <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Seems to me that 1.4.2. was part of a Java Group PTF, although I can't
remember which one.  I applied it last fall, I think.

Howdy folks!  Quick poll: what version of JVM are you currently running on
your iSeries?  What's your OS level and what's the highest JVM versin you
have available?

I just found out that the IBM JVMs for the iSeries have basically sucked.
We knew that from our own experience, but the truth is that those things ran
at roughly 1/8th the horsepower of the current 1.4.2 JVM.

I was originally not happy with the idea of getting a standard JVM for the
iSeries and losing some of our platform uniqueness, but if it means an
eight-fold increase in performance, I think I'm okay with it...
