Why? Were you involved in developing the IBM JDK? ;-)
Anyway, please note the following: numbers I did not give were the
numbers of Sun's current 1.2 JDK on Windows. I expect those to be
faster than their 1.1 numbers on Windows. I base this guess on the
assumption that most of the run-time system that's not JIT-related
in Sun's 1.2 code is the same code in both Windows and Linux.
As I haven't seen Sun's code, I wouldn't know whether this is true.
Secondly, I haven't seen the blackdown 1.2/TYA combo. From what
I grasp it's not at the point yet where it would run spec98 (?)
I expect that this will perform better than the 1.1.7/TYA 1.5 combo,
and possibly better than the current kaffe. If not, TYA certainly
has room to grow here given the jdk1.2/sunwjit numbers.
To add another reason why nobody should draw conclusions quite yet:
Kaffe's benchmarks were obtained with a version of its class libraries
that was compiled with jikes, which is often considered to create
the slowest bytecode among the different javac compilers.
