	Yep :-) If I remember rightly - the only moving part in this
side-to-side performance comparison that causes a substantial decrease
in performance is Java 7 vs 6 right ? The strace shows it poking
at /proc/self/map endlessly (something that is not done by any
LibreOffice code I can find off hand), which perhaps helps isolate the
problem rather better ?

	Ideally of course, we would have a native SQLite database to avoid
needing to use that hsqldb thing (as you do) - potentially it is
provoking java performance problems by using a method call that used to
be fast but is now slow; or ... ?

	So - it's not clear what best to do about this really,

	Is there a good java profiler out there we could use on a mixed C++ /
Java process like ours ?

	Thanks,

		Michael.
