I have tried both IBM JDK 1.1.8 and Blackdown under Linux. When you run graphical
Swing applications you won't notice much of a difference in drawing speed (at least I
didn't). But if you are creating a server applications you will probably benefit from
using the IBM JDK. We ran some benchmarks on our Java servlets using JMeter and the
IBM JDK was superior to Blackdowns JDK. When simulating a lot of clients the memory
usage of the IBM JDK was *much* lower and as a result the message throughput was much
higher.
