Another discussion topic

Performance tests in the 3.5 stream.
The new performance machines have identical hardware configurations. Two
machines are currently installed with Windows XP,  and two with RHEL
5.  Thus the performance configurations from 3.4.x don't make sense
(slow versus fast machines).   Frédéric has suggested that we configure
two machines with Windows XP jdk 1.6 and and two with Linux RHEL5 jdk 1.6
to help improve the reliability of results.

JDT 
- lots of compile warnings in build results due to new "The method
xyz is
overriding a synchronized method without being synchronized":
- do we want this warning to be raised or should we disable it again?

I-build?
