It's always worth reading the terms under which you get a JRE to check that you are allowed to measure and publish performance numbers -- some licences specifically disallow it [1]. In any case, I think it would be good manners to note on the Harmony performance page that the numbers are an indication of the entire stack (or to put it another way, we don't want to imply that a VM is poor at performance when it is really the fault of performance issues in the class libraries). [1] The JRockit for Harmony license includes a restriction to not "disclose the results of software performance benchmarks to any third party without BEA’s prior written consent" -- this is not unusual.
