Anthony,

I think the problem is garbage collection (memory size). I didn't mean to suggest
that there was anything wrong with gcj compiler. I'm very impressed with it.
I just changed back to the Sun VM because it was easier than sorting out the
actual problem, which I expect is a matter of configuration.

100 is an exaggeration. It was taking 9 minutes to start up the server and now
it takes 20 seconds or so.
