Hi, I am preparing a study about Java performance, which first release is about to be published in the Java Lobby site. I have benchmarked a number of VMs for the Win32 platform (JDKs 1.0.2/1.1.7/1.2, Microsoft VMs, and also the TowerJ natives) and analysed their performance and memory usage. I want to add Linux in a future version of the report. I have already tested the Blackdown 1.1.7 VM, but I will wait for the JDK 1.2 to make a more complete work on Linux. Some questions for you: 1) Do you have a prevision for 1.2 release? 2) The Blackdown VM is interpreter-only. There is a number of JITs out there. But I don't plan to cover every VM and JIT in existence. The report is very focused in the "official" or "mainstream" VMs, which are basically JDK and Microsoft (a big de facto standard no matter what). Is there any JIT that plugs cleanly into your latest VMs and is likely to be elected as an "official JIT"? Do you plan to include some JIT in your distribution (which/when)? I am only interested in mature and competitive code, and I don't plan to include multiple JITs in the Linux test. thanks, Osvaldo
