I don't mean to be heretical, but using an unoptimized sample
implementation is not always the best solution for mission-critical
server applications. The Blackdown ports, and the more recent IBM and
Inprise ports, are a huge boon to Java developers and users on Linux -
but they're sample implementations that have ported a lot of inefficient
code directly from Sun.
You may want to look at the Volano benchmarks
(http://www.volano.com/report.html), which subject JVMs to server-type
stresses. Interestingly, a Linux-based Java deployment environment comes
out on top. It's from TowerJ, and it's far from free. But how much
revenue did you say was at stake?
