java

e v o

curious if anyone knows some 'tweaks' for java, as its slowing down my system. I use azureus and have noticed recently that my video stutters once every 10 minutes or so when im watching. Does anyone have any ideas, i just dont know that much about java and how to configure it

Thanks

using the jse 5.0 update 4.

it says there are a lot of performance fixes in the release, but im wondering if the 1.4.2 would be better?

I tried the JDK 6.0 release .. Mustang beta, but it made Runescape (a java game) mega-unstable.
http://download.java.net/jdk6/binaries/ - if you want to risk it... no way to just download the runtime, you have to download and instal the full JDK

I found some graphical flags to use - they can be set in Java control panel

-Dsun.java2d.d3d=true (flag to enable D3D rendering in JDK6.0 early access)

-Dsun.java2d.opengl=True (flag to enable openGL pipeline, all versions - severe colour errors result)
NB. uppercase T on True reports if the pipeline is enabled, lowercase t is silent

-Dsun.java2d.ddscale=true (flag to enable directdraw hardware scaling - all versions
unless OGL pipeline selected)

The first one only works with the 6.0 release

the second one is available in both, but it appears to cause a R-G or R-B colour component swap (ATI graphics)

The 3rd one, I'm using, I think it cuts CPU usage in some areas.

Java only runs when you run Azureus. There's no way it can make your system stutter or whatever. Both 1.4.2 and 5.0 are fine, but I only use the latest (officially released, not betas)

You could try getting rid of azureus and get bitlord or use emule

Turns out it was the disk caching. Once i turned that off, the random stutters disappeared.
