Is performance improved recompiling with JDK 1.4 the old JDK 1.2.2 classes?

Hi,

I have a GUI application that is run with JDK 1.2.2 on Solaris 2.8, but the performance is very poor. I migrated the JDK version up to JDK 1.4, but I did not recompile the application classes. The migration did not improve the speed of the application, so I wander if it was because I didn't recompile the application classes.

Thanks.

I don't see anything specific in 1.3 or 1.4 that says changes in the compiler produced performance improvements. The improvements came from changes in the Java API, which you are using.
