I am using Borland JBuilder2 JDK for compiling (I think its 1.1.6, and jdk1.2.2
for compiling a working version (it compiles into faster program).  As far as
the runtime, I use the 1.2.2 VM with the built in symantec JIT.  I found that
the hotspot compiler is actually 15% slower, but I haven't tried it for more
than 3 or so games on fics. It seems it just never compiled all the methods and
the overhead of trying was killing the program.
