Νίκο, καλημέρα,
just a question:
Did you benchmark you whole system (apart from java) using some
well known benchmark?
-server 1.4.2 (even linux-jdk) on my workstation some times runs faster than
our Linux dual xeon 3.2GHZ server.
You can even test by writing a simple cpu-intensive C program by yourself.
Also i dont remember answering the /etc/malloc.conf question.
Linking this to "aj" could make a *huge* difference (if you are on current).
Also trying removing any debugging from your kernel.
man 7 tuning is a good way to start.
If your system proves to be *generally* slower than the rest 2,
then we got a FreeBSD issue here.
else it is a java-related matter.
Anyway in the meantime i wish you to solve the problem
and stick all the way with FreeBSD!
