 Yes, and I noticed that Bryce recently patched the FAQ. You can read
 the entries 2.8 and 4.2
 
 If you're running a benchmark, I strongly encourage you to build it
 from sources instead of from classes. You'll get much better
 performances. If gcj can't build it from sources because of 1.1
 issues, well, I'll fix them.
