[Laszlo-dev] Re: Ant 1.6.1

[Scott Evans]

I just tried building the server with both:

WEB-INF\lps\server build:
  javac (1.4.2_08): 37 seconds
  jikes (1.18): 33 seconds

Obviously it's not making a big difference in build time to use javac.
Are there platform benchmarks that we can use to determine if script 
compiler performance has gotten notably worse?  Does that matter in 
the face of the java rewrite?

(always happy to nuke one more dependency in the build stuff, if we can)
