The Powerpoint doc converted to HTML is at 
http://lynch-family.org/Java_on_FreeBSD.zip


This comtains all the info that was in the presentation last night.

(plus a little bit about the situation we use it in, specific to Paltalk)

Remember, all of this was tuned to maximum tcp throughput in the sitations 
we were using FreeBSD in, not specific to Java, but its an example of the 
"tuning to the application, before blaming java for issues" mentaility I 
outlined.
