<br>
Thanks for a very quick reply! That indeed does the trick!<br>
<br>
Presumably the default has changed in 3.5 to be a "generic" CPU<br>
instead of the native one? If that's the case I wonder why: especially<br>
when JITting it really only makes sense to target the actual CPU -<br>
unless I'm missing something? :)<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>
<br>
Matt<br>

> I suspect you need to specify the target CPU when you create the JIT. It’s just a method on the builder (e.g., builder.setMCPU(MCPU)). If you want auto-detection based on the host CPU, sys::getHostCPUName() returns a value suitable to be passed directly into the builder.<br>
