OK, thanks. What you say is true. I was doing something
silly in my function, and as a result was not getting
any output.

I have some interesting results that I would like
to share. I can run my version of Kaffe in 4 modes. 

1. pure JIT (default)
2. pure interpreter (-disableJIT)
3. Some user specified interpreted methods, rest JIT (-mixSomeJIT)
4. Mixture on internal heuristics. (-mixJIT)

The timing results are as follows, where in;

case 3: I interpret main and all <clinit>()V and all <init>()V
case 4: I JIT any method that is called the second time.

I know of a much better internal heuristic, which I will
be implementing very soon. I expect the run time
to reduce dramatically then.
