Should the gcj build instructions also mention --enable-parallel-mark? I
haven't done a systematic study with gcj recently, but my impression is that
it's a substantial win for multiprocessor servers, and a mild loss for
uniprocessors. I believe it works reliably on at least X86 and IA64 Linux.
I thought others had also used it on other platforms? (It doesn't work on
Solaris, since it's incompatible with the thread-stopping code there. We
would have to switch to using linux_threads.c there to make it work.)
