The JIT is one developed by Sun, but it's a lot slower than
the one Sun obtained from Symantec that is included in the windows
version of java. Which in turn is said to be slower than hotspot
for long-running programs.
There was a good set of benchmarks on www.javalobby.org a month
or so ago. Also see my informal java/C benchmarks at
www.idiom.com/~zilla/Computer/javaCbenchmark.html
The good news is that Hotspot is supposed to be available for linux
later this year, and IBM's very fast jvm/jit is also rumored to be on
the way.
