Well, my experiences with building docbook-defguide are, that kaffe and
cacao run out of memory much earlier than GIJ (with the same reserved
heapsize). JamVM is some kind of slow, like GIJ is too (if not using
native code). So my choice was GIJ. Native code speeds up things a lot.
But without native code I had a huge difference in processing the TDG
sources to HTML: hour with Sun Java vs 16 hours with GIJ. However,
because of my other experiences, I preferred GIJ over the other free
JVMs.
