possibly, Java WebStart is not properly configured on the client
machines. My browser (Safari) also just displays the JNLP file's XML
syntax. Still, downloading the JAR directly works fine, and the
benchmarks yield the following (on a G4 Powerbook, 768 MB RAM, 1 GHz):
Squeak 3.8.9beta8: 59,925,093 bytecodes/sec; 3,361,587 sends/sec
Java 1.4.2_09: 5,759,539 bytecodes/sec; 332,188 sends/sec
Java 1.5.0_05: 5,657,708 bytecodes/sec; 331,012 sends/sec
Overheads (Java 1.4 over Squeak 3.8): 10.4 for bytecodes; 10.1 for sends.
It's interesting that the Java 5 VM appears to be slightly slower when
it comes to running Squeak than the 1.4 one, but that's something for
the VM hackers at Apple to consider. :-)
This is very nifty! Thanks for the work!
