[ index ] [ benchmarks | compilers | maintainability | resources | rules | size | tools ] Compiler optimizations: When you've finished developing and testing your code, recompile with compiler optimizations turned on (e.g., javac -O ). For details on what current Java compilers can do, and how you can help them, see Java compilers . Just-in-time compilers: Make sure your users have a just-in-time compiler instead of a standard interpreted Java VM. JIT compilers typically improve the performance of non-graphical Java primitives by 10-30 times (see Java microbenchmarks ).
Browsers with JIT compilers include the Win32 and Mac versions of Netscape Navigator 3.0 and Internet Explorer 3.0 . Asymetrix (commercial: for Win32).
