I ran a few benchmarks to compare the different JVM's out there, on the
SPEC benchmarks plus two of our internal benchmarks, sablecc (a parser
generator), and soot, a frozen version of our analysis framework.

Here are the results.  These results are not scientific; in particular, I
only ran each benchmark once; usually we will run them five times.  So
they should only be considered as an approximate measurement of the
performance of the various VM's. 

            Blackdown    Sun     Blackdown+javacomp
compress     66.01      70.45      70.75
db          146.54     112.34     153.66
jack         62.57      39.05      48.58
javac        71.08      46.71      58.39
jess         48.13      33.00      36.95
mpegaudio    57.95      59.27      58.59
mtrt         37.97      31.93      24.11
raytrace     51.61      30.99      32.49
sablecc-w    41.92      32.16      39.11
soot-j      132.19      92.76     107.88

Blackdown denotes Blackdown JDK1.2.2RC3.
Sun denotes Sun/Inprise JDK1.2.2RC1.
Blackdown+javacomp is Blackdown RC3, but using the javacomp JIT provided
with the Sun JDK.

Tests were run on a dual-processor PII/400 running kernel 2.2.8.
