Sorry I've been a bit busy on stuff and only now catching up here on the
list.

I'm using the latest classpath 0.98 and Jamvm 1.5.3  I can't remember
the specifics at the moment but there was some feature of Java 6 that
our system's code was using which required JamVM 1.5.3 which in turn
required Classpath 0.98. I just used a OE recipe for those and build
them for the OpenMoko.

I tried the Cacao JRE on my eeePC and it soaked up resources as well so
I never even bothered to build it for the phone. Obviously something in
our Java System, mabe knophlerfish is not streamlined in these JRE's.
There is a Huge difference in running our system in a SUN JRE (1% CPU
According top) and other Jre's

I'm working now on the eeePC to see can I reduce this 40% on Jamvm. When
I get time actually I'm now trying to connect to an AdHoc wifi network
form the FreeRunner.

Thanks for the clarification on the ARM front. I don't think Sun have a
JRE for an ARM 4, no surprise really ;-) Things would be too easy.
