Re: JVM on G5

I was wondering if the JVM on Mac OS X 'adjusts' itself to make use of
specific processor capabilities, for instance the processing power of the
64-bit PowerPC G5. More specifically, does the JVM 'behave' differently on
such a processor with respect to floating point calculations, use of the
Java long (64-bit) datatype, dual processor, etc. Or is it the exact same
JVM as on a 32-bit architecture?


And a couple of related questions:

1. Will the Mac OS VM use multiple processors for separate threads?
2. How well are the new I/O APIs implemented on the Mac? Are they a significant improvement?
