and sort of makes sense if the previous Java virtual machine was 32 bits.. but i am not sure if it was 32 or 64.

A lot of LightZone is written in Java so if the Java virtual machine is further optimized (afaik, it's closer to the very latest version of it now by just a minor rev) then it probably runs much faster. I saw that it has Sun's hotspot optimization engine- again, if that wasn't in Leopard (I am not sure if it was) then it would explain why LightZone now feels zippier.

makes a good photograph.'
