Sorry about digging up an old thread.... Here's an interesting result from Stack Overflow. It concerned a RPI3 performance problem using the 32-bit armhf image. An Aarch64 image supplied by openSUSE apparently fixed it: * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41956400/thread-performance-issues-for-java-on-raspberry-pi?#comment71101862_41956400 There's a lot of variables in the equation, but I suspect the ARM-32/armhf image contributes a fair amount.
