Talk:Java Edition hardware performance

Java...
I was just thinking, why doesn't it ask for your Java version when giving your review? -- Number  maniac  (C)  05:07, 23 March 2013 (UTC)


 * That is a good question. My assumption is that Java doesn't affect performance much. I know that earlier 7 versions had mouse/key issues, but I have not heard of performance issues. Version-wise, everyone should always have the current version with the major number exception. Sun/Oracle usually keeps both the last major number and the newest major number active while they iron out the new one, which was the case with 6, so people submitting their results could have any of the updates throughout 6 and 7 before. Sun/Oracle has moved to preferring 7 for everyone sometime in the last few months. As for deciding whether or not to put in a Java section, I'll leave that up to someone who is more familiar with Java's impact on performance (other than using 32-bit vice 64-bit).  13:34, 23 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I never noticed any major performance difference between the java versions, regardless of whether it was a minor 6 update, or whether it was e transition form 6 to 7. It will usually tell you that version 7 is available, and it says that it will uninstall version 6. Thanks anyway. -- Number  maniac  (C)  00:00, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
