If only....

I've had to move back to using the Sun JRE to run a big java application 
we develop.  If I use OpenJDK then the performance is abysmal and we get 
regular HotSpot crashes.  The Sun version runs like a charm.

This may not something to do with the way OpenJDK is packaged on Fedora 
rather than a code code issue, but in any case Sun Java = works, Fedora 
Open JDK = fails.

..and yes I submitted a bug report* with a reproducible test case, but 
not a peep from the maintainers.
