There is a common misconception that "AOT compilation == Super Duper Fast".
That isn't true.  Performance is tricky and the current crop of
proprietary JITs are excellent compilers.  I'd expect that you could
see the benefit if you ran two eclipse instances on the same machine
though (eg try developing a plugin and running a second eclipse to
test it), due to the use of shared libraries.

ATM there is a gcj bug affecting the update manager.  This is fixed in
gcc 4.1.  That said, the RPM-ification of Eclipse doesn't otherwise
affect the update manager.  You just need to make a new update site in
your home directory or the like.


I didn't read all of this thread, but going by the
Subject... segregating by implementation language doesn't make sense.
Instead segregate by functionality.
