Ultra 20 - another divide

Yesterday, I have done my proctor duty for J1's Hands-on Labs. It was a lot of fun but I have to admit, we have been unfair! There were roughly 100 workstations. About half of the room was using brand new Ultra 20, while the other half was using good old Blade 150. Sometime, people from the other side (the Blade 150 side) were complaining because it was not balzing fast. Well... compiling, packaging, deploying a J2EE application, then launching the browser to test the same application, then JSP gets compiled on the first request... can easily takes 6 to 10 seconds on a Blade 150, that's normal. On the other side (the Ultra 20 side), I never had any complaints about the performance. Doing the same things... takes less than 2 seconds! (sometime, it was even under the second!!) That's what I call performance! Again, that was unfair for the other side... just another divide, sorry for the Blade 150 side!
