Java in VMWare with FC3

I know this might be a rhetorical question but has anyone found a way to
speed up Java in VMWare 5.5 with FC3?  All my C++ code runs at near
native speed (after the first execution) but Java, well, Java is a
different story; it's jut pig slow -- like 10x slower that running on
native hardware.

Using VMWare 5.5 with 512MB allocated to the VM.

Any ideas?

:b!
