Re: Java 7 vs 8 speed issues on Win7?

     So, all we have is:

     - An application (whose nature, function, size, and performance
       characteristics aren't divulged) performed acceptably on one
       machine with one O/S and one Java version,

     - When the Java version, O/S, and machine were all changed, the
       application performed poorly,

     - When the Java version was changed yet again, things improved.

Three variables, two times two times three equals twelve configurations
of which three were observed, and the only data we have from the
observations are "it performed very poorly" and "the performance
improved considerably."

     Anybody who can draw a diagnosis from so little data has psychic
powers.
