Hi, I think the comparison that indicates that Ubuntu is much faster than Windows Vista results from the fact that they have compared the server Hotspot VM on Linux against the client one on Vista. On Windows, if not specified otherwise, always the client VM is chosen. On Linux in contrary this decisions depends on the machine. More than 2GB of RAM and more than 2 cores result in the server VM.
The article does not mention that one of both Hotspot VMs has been chosen deliberately, so the default selection took place. I think the numbers are in line with this. Would be nice to have a REAL comparison between Windows, Mac and Linux using the same JDK and the same Hotspot version on the same hardware.
