Hi Charles - It appears that Sun's Solaris JVM scores poorly against the Windows NT equivalent... SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ VOLANO AND JAVAWORLD RELEASE FIRST-EVER BENCHMARK RANKINGS DEDICATED TO JAVA (http://www.pathfinder.com/money/latest/press/PW/1997Dec02/695.html) From the article: "...Among the four JVMs compared by Volano on an Intel platform last week, the fastest was Windows NT, with a VolanoMark score of 756, followed by Sun Solaris at 334, IBM OS/2 Warp at 239, and Red Hat Linux at 223. As a result of major improvements made by each of the Java vendors, the server-side performance of their latest JVMs is several times faster than their implementations from earlier this year. (See the JavaWorld article for details.) ..." ===================================================================== Do you think the new "Darwin" machine will offer a better 'optimized' JVM or might it be the same product (tested above) just packaged differently? EKS P.S. Stay tuned to future JVM benchmark test: techmall.com In December, the company will release test results comparing the performance of the major JVMs. "This is an important stage in Java's life", said J.P. Morgenthal, Java Computing Analyst with NC.Focus. "A group has single-handedly taken it upon themselves to test the true core of the virtual machine. These results will demonstrate who the real leaders in virtual machine development really are."
