We're considering to use Kaffe for a research project. So I thought I'd
give it a little testrun. I downloaded the rpm on the Kaffe website and
ran scimark 2.0 (http://math.nist.gov/scimark/) on a Celeron 500 MHz.
For some reason, it ran several hours without ever producing a result.
On my Linux box at home (an old PII 233 MHz) using the IBM JDK 1.1.8, this
benchmark runs in half a minute.
What's wrong? I know Kaffe isn't as fast as the commercial distributions
but this seems a bit strange to me. Could someone run scimark 2.0 on
their machine and try it out?
Thanks,
