Can you be more specific, please. All our testing of this feature shows it 
as good-to-go.

Exactly what aspect of it is still troubling?

Been there, done that. 

EA shows consistent benefit of at least a few %, and we want to switch it 
on in production, and can't do that with a non Sun-supported build.

Please give us as much detail as you can (contact me offlist if necessary) 
- we'd really like to know what's caused this decision, and if possible 
see some code with corresponding PrintAssembly traces where errors could 
occur.

Thanks,

Ben
