hi folks,

i notice that using the -server option in the windows client gives a speed boost, if java server is installed on the host machine...

1> is there a way of doing this on the mac platform ?
2> does this java program make any use of the altivec unit on the G4 chip ?

if altivec isn.t being utilised then is there a way to get it working ?

i mention the altivec because i am running dnetc rc5-72 on my dual g4 powermac and its 6 times faster than a pc at the same clock speed !! entirely due to the utilisation of the altivec unit

cheers
