Hi, I ran Michael's invoke() benchmark on a Pentium III 1ghz
running Windows2000.

jdk1.3.1: build 1.3.1-b24
jdk1.4beta: build 1.4.0-beta-b65

--

\jdk1.3\bin\java InvokeTimer
Microseconds per invoke: 2.5

\jdk1.4\bin\java InvokeTimer
Microseconds per invoke: 1.1

-- and a bit more repetitions --

\jdk1.3\bin\java InvokeTimer 10000000
Microseconds per invoke: 2.3044

\jdk1.4\bin\java InvokeTimer 10000000
Microseconds per invoke: 0.7931

Quite an improvement apparently.

Regards,
Will
