Does anybody have any definitive numbers on this? What about Volano?
I typically have found that for small-scale applications, I often get faster
performance with the Windows JVMs (much to my chagrin ;^). For example, I
almost never run Forte CE under Linux or even Solaris. It's not until you
really start cranking up the application that you start to see a difference, in
terms of performance under high loads and scalability.
As far as Linux and Java 2 goes, Sun's 1.3 implementation was the first real
performer, although it looks like Blackdown's beta appears to be giving Sun a
run for its money (especially with AWT and Swing applications - Blackdown wins,
hands-down). Even though IBM looks like it has another performance leader in
its 1.3 implementation, it looks rather buggy and unstable at this point.
Thoughts?
