The Sun JDK for NT comes with a JIT compiler.
To get a better comparison of the two, try using the "-nojit" option under NT.
I think you will find the performance to be comparable to Linux. There are
several JIT compilers available for Linux, but it is my understanding that their
performance still does not compare well against the Symantec JIT (included in
Sun's JDK) or the Microsoft JIT (includes in IE & VisualJ++).
With the growing acceptance of Linux in mainstream business, I imagine that will
soon change.
As for the stability, I cannot comment. I have experienced no serious problems
with the Linux port.
