Java and AMD64 with libthr

[Michael Vince]

Hi guys,

I have a quad core (Intel Core 2) server and I was considering using it 
to run a bunch of Java services.
Considering its got 8gigs of ram and is currently using FreeBSD Amd64 
kernel I am wondering if I should leave it as or change over to i386 
with PAE mode.

The issue is that I can't use libthr under Amd64 on Java and I want to 
try and get as much as I can from the server,
does any one know when we will be able to use libthr/java on Amd64? I 
recall some one posted it was now possible under -current but I want to 
use at least stable/release.
If any one could give me any kind of ball-park time say 1st half 2007 or 
even better 6.5-release that would be highly appreciated.

Also if any one remembers my original benchmarks I posted on Java just 
letting you know I might post more benchmarks if/when I can get this 
server to use libthr for Java, as it would be interesting to see how 
much performance can be gained from Java per core.

Cheers,
Michael
