We run many of Collier-Jackson's (now VishionShift) applications.  They
converted their scrren handling interfaces to JAM over the past few years.
It gave them a common interface for all applications.
 
One thing that has been noted by our users is that JAM is *much* slower
than VIEW.  User perception is a key metric.  In this case, the slow-down
of the online system is as big a negative as all the other enhancements
that were gained.
