Scumbria,

RE:On a typical day I run many Java applets on my Windows 95 computer. These include my stockbroker's (Datek) web page. The performance of Java on Win 95 (or any other platform) is totally unsatisfactory.

A single CPU can not compile, execute and garbage collect on Java real time. The obvious solution to this problem is to run these three threads on separate CPU's.


Yes, I use several Java applets in the course of a day also. Why do I need multiple CPUs again? Because of the overhead involved in compiling and running multiple threads? This sounds like a software problem. If you find your computer slowing down, because there are many processes running in the background you can't solve this with CPU power. It's a result of poor software design.
