MacOS 9's JVM != MacOSX JVM.

In fact, the MacOSX JVM does indeed kick some serious ass. It isn't a huge
speed demon (yet), but things work *perfectly*. They also have some cool
technology in there for static member sharing across multiple JVM's on the
same machine. In other words, running two JVM's is much less resource
intensive than on other platforms because they share information between
themselves.

I highly recommend OSX.
