title: How do I speed up the JVM?
body: <p>I'm writing some java software that is being run on both Linux and Windows XP Embedded on a Vortex86 Chip. The software usually loads in 2-3 seconds in Windows XP but when I try and load it in Linux it takes around 10-12 seconds. I don't think its a code optimization issue because it takes 1 second to run a Hello World program.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Pre-loading java is an option because the machine will only be running these programs but I have no idea how to do that.</p>
