Scumbria,

Wrong Wrong Wrong.. A single CPU can do it.. JVM and JITs still aren't very good.. everyone says they can make them at least 40% faster on current hardware. The language is still young and people just don't have enough experience with it.

Using MP for something like Java is a nasty mistake. It would be very difficult to maintain solid performance even using MP (the code would get MORE sloppy). Another problem you have is that Windows 9X doesn't support it.. and won't support it.

You would have to move to Windows NT x.0.. not many home users will do that before the turn of the century. By 2000 computers (at the current rate) will be running at 1 GHz, with 4-8 execution units (which is plenty to run java and garbage collect in one CPU).
