.class code optimization

Fri Oct 11 07:15:00 GMT 2002

Hi, I guess the question has alerady been anwered on the ML but I can't 
find it using ht:/Dig.
Is there any specific reason .class produced by GCJ are no better (well, 
only slightly better in fact) that javac ones?
Shuoldn't dead code elimination and other optimization come automatical 
using GCC?
But maybe Java standard needs unoptimized classes to have better 
performance in the HotSpot VM maybe..?
Or just the work to enable optimization hasn't yet been done?
Please Cc me as I'm not subscriber to the ML.
Thanks, Lapo
