I have read the online 1.4 specs for java.nio and thought about how to
implement it but I have done no actual work. We will get it in time, but
nobody is actively working on it at the moment.

java.nio is partly based on work done by Matt Welsh.
<http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~mdw/proj/java-nbio/>
This could be used as basis or inspiration for an actual implementation.

The ORP VM should work out of the box with Classpath from CVS and
hopefully we will officially release that code this week.

According to the following reseach Orp does very well compared to other
VMs <http://www.shudo.net/jit/perf/>.
