It is not open source, of course, but just for the record (or for other 
readers) the 1.1.2 Java SDK Standard Edition for Linux is available from 
the javasoft website. Interesting that this one does not have JIT enabled 
(by default) when the preceding release candidate did, so your quest for 
speed might discover why the default has been changed.

Otherwise, apart from tinkering with font.properties, I have so far found 
this to be a pretty good JVM and SDK.

Of course, exactly what this says about the relationship between Sun 
Microsystems and the boys at Blackdown is moot.

I've not looked at kaffe for a while; is this sufficient for your needs?
