The DLLs are up to date with today's snapshot.

The speed-up you see ought to be more dramatic than I indicated in
that e-mail because today's changes remove most Java -> Objective C
object lookup costs (throughout Swarm). With Kaffe on
sparc-sun-solaris2.7 the MessageProbe change together with the lookup
elimination results in batch runs for Java heatbugs that are more than
twice as fast. On i686-pc-linux-gnu system, the speed-up is larger.
[Interestingly, the lookup elimination change _really_ wins with Kaffe
on Solaris but not so much with Sun JDK on Solaris. However, on Intel
there isn't so much difference.]
More performance work is underway..
