Java SE 6 updated, significantly improving performance

According to InternetNews.com, as the first Update of this year, Java SE 6 Update 18 (also known as 6u18) not only fixed more than 300 bugs (enough), but also worth noting that, this improves the performance of Virtual Machine HotSpot, which will benefit both Java and JavaFX (JVM-based RIA solution) applications.

In addition, the underlying mechanism of the Java installer is replaced to greatly improve the availability.

A long-standing bug in creating jar files has been fixed, and the speed has increased by about 20%.

By reducing the memory usage of text raster and accelerating image processing, the performance of UI applications has also been improved.

In general, memory processing has been improved. In the customer's JVM, the default Java heap configuration is modified, the initial and maximum heap sizes are increased, and the settings related to the generational garbage processing are also optimized.

Dave Hofert, senior marketing experience of Sun's Java platform group, said this version marks a new level for Java.
