Hello Friends,
        Please help me to solve a problem.I have a PC with 500 MHz speed and OS as Windows98.(AMD-K7 processor with 128 MB's of RAM).When i compile my Java programs on it it takes so much time to compile that.While one of my friend have PC with 133 MHz speed(Intel Cyrex with 128 MBs of RAM)but he has no such problem.I have tried javac with -verbose option and found that most of the time it spends in parsing the program.My PC takes near about 800-900ms for parsing a small program ,while my friend's PC takes only 100-150ms for parsing the same code.I feels boring when i compile my java programs on that system(Which should not happen when you are learning something).
       Can someone from you solve my problem?

Use the Jikes compiler from IBM. It's open source, written in C++, very portable, and very fast. See the following url for more information:

Thanks Martyn!! for showing interest in my problem.Can u give some solution,if i don't want to use a compiler other than jdk.

Well, how fast is your friend's computer? How many different applications are you running? Are you compiling your java programs from the command line, or from within an IDE?


Take care,

As i wrote in my first message, my friend has an old computer(cyrix 133MHz with 128MBs of SDRAM),which does nothing else but run java programs well.And i have 500 MHz (AMD K7 with 128 MBs of RAM) processor and all other programs are running well on it.I am compiling my programs from command line using jdk1.3.
