+<h2>Results</h2>
+
+<b>ProGuard</b> successfully processes any Java bytecode, ranging from small
+midlets to entire run-time libraries. It primarily reduces the size of the
+processed code, with some potential increase in efficiency as an added bonus.
+The improvements obviously depend on the original code. The table below
+presents some typical results:

+Results were measured with ProGuard 4.0 on a 2.6 GHz Pentium 4 with 512 MB
+of memory, using Sun JDK 1.5.0 in Fedora Core 3 Linux.
+<p>
+The program sizes include companion libraries. The shrinking step produces the
+best results for programs that use only small parts of their libraries. The
+obfuscation step can significantly shrink large programs even further, since
+the identifiers of their many internal references can be replaced by short
+identifiers.
+<p>
+The Java 6 run-time classes are the most complex example. The classes perform
+a lot of introspection, interacting with the native code of the virtual
+machine. The 1500+ lines of configuration were largely composed by automated
+analysis, complemented by a great deal of trial and error. The configuration
+is probably not complete, but the resulting library successfully serves as a
+run-time environment for running applications like ProGuard and the ProGuard
+GUI.
+<p>
+For small inputs, timings are governed by the reading and parsing of the jars.
+For large inputs, the optimization step becomes more important. For instance,
+processing the Java 6 run-time classes without optimization only takes 2
+minutes.
+<p>
+Memory usage (the amount of physical memory used by ProGuard while processing)
+is governed by the basic java virtual machine and by the total size of the
+library jars and program jars.
