HQ v3.10 using Java v6?

I notice that my HQ v3.10 install is still using JRE v1.4.2. I don't know if you grand folks have poked around much with v6, but seat-of-the-pants testing with various things here shows stunning speed improvement.

Is there anything in HQ that would break by using a v6 JRE instead of the relatively ancient v1.4.2? Even any guesses?

Brad,
I've been using java 1.6.0 on HQ 3.0.5 for about 5 months and now upgraded to java 1.6.0 update 2 and has been fine for a couple of weeks now.

feels "snappier" 🙂

We're planning on upgrading the bundled JRE to Java 1.5 for the next
release. In our test environments, 1.5 performed significantly
better in terms of memory management and performance. What type of
improvements have you seen between 1.5 and 1.6?
