I suggest you take a look at tomshardware.com. They don't benchmark Java3D
but any of the OpenGL benchmarks will give you a good idea of what to expect.
Face it, Java is slower than C/C++ so if you need high performance go for the
fastest CPU you can find. I have seen excellent performance with the
Athlon/GeForce
combo. A 1 GHz Athlon and GeForce 2 should give you about as good performance
you will see on any single-CPU platform today, and probably about 20-30X better
graphics performance than available on standard Sparc workstations.
Alternatively, a
dual-850 MHz PIII (with WinNT or Win2K) also performs well with Java3D.
