More info:

JDK 1.3 and Sun's javac were used on all machines.  While jikes will speed =
up=20
the build, we're currently using javac for any builds at the integration =
level or=20
above (test, production environments).

The chip on the Compaq machine is a Pentium III.

Linux is not an option - the Unix group at our company has decided Linux =
is an=20
unsupported OS.

Question:

If using the <parallel> task allows Ant to more effectively use MP, then =
why=20
did the Win2K machine appear to do a much better job of distributing =
the=20
load (without the <parallel> task)?

As stated in my first post, both processors showed a 58% load.  This is =
in=20
contrast to the Sun E450 that had a 100% load on one processor while =
the=20
other three had no load.

Hi Kyle,

have you tried jikes? I would recommend it as build compiler!
Is Linux an option?
My own experience is that a Pentium 4 makes a difference. Are you talking
about PIII or PIV with your W2K-Machine.
Are you using Sun or IBM JDK? I don't know for the compiler, but normally
IBM is faster.

Regards,
 Michael
