This is a bit premature. We still don't have the OpenJDK JIT for PPC and
ARM arches. We're working hard on it but it's not ready yet for prime-time.
Without the JIT, OpenJDK is crushingly slow on these arches.
Having said that, there's no reason not to make OpenJDK the default on the
arches where it performs well: x86 and 8x6_64 at the monent.
Andrew.
