Can you build a statically linked version of your app? One bad thing
right now is that there are a lot of calls between libgcj.so and
libgcjgc.so during gc. Calls across shared library boundaries are
slow.
Eventually we will have to move the java specific marking into the
gc's inner-loop, but I'm curious about the real cost of the shared
library calls.
