As he says, he is using Java, so the platform independence is probably
due to that


my bad, sometimes i forget the C in C++ doesnt stand for "Common".

But it still shouldn't bring down the entire operating system, the
operating system should just kill the program, but then again, it isn't
the first time i have seen a user process take down windows.


Ha so true! i'm not sure if it still does but a recursive batch file takes a
system down quick.

also if it's java, aren't there various versions of a java run time you can
get made by different people?

I have had almost 100% bad experience with java in windows (never tried on
another OS) so maybe the windows implementation is bloated and slow, while
the one written for linux is lean, mean and quick.

It seems that would follow the pattern on alot of other things between the
OS's as well...

hopefully if thats the case maybe theres a better java runtime or some way
to workaround the lag issues.

Regarding the problem it sounds, to me, to be a "memory leak" or
whatever you want to call it in Java. This means that you are allocating
a lot of data, and keeping it in memory rather than letting the garbage
collector reclaim the memory. We need detailed code to find such a bug.

You could start by monitoring the memory usage of your program using the
task manager in windows.

But it still shouldn't bring down the entire operating system, the
operating system should just kill the program, but then again, it isn't
the first time i have seen a user process take down windows.
