A number of folks pointed out in reply to my earlier note
that the Linux JDK does not provide a default JIT. I ran
tests with the TYA JIT on Linux and with the JIT on Win98
disabled. While the results on Win98 did slow down to
almost exactly the same speed as Linux, the converse was
not true.

The JDK1.1.7 port from blackdown does not come with a JIT compiler.
This will make it much slower than the Windows version which does
have a JIT compiler. You should also keep in mind that benchmarks
are almost always wrong. You need to see how the speed differs with
an application, not a benchmar

I decided to test the performance of my home machine with
the CaffineMark benchmark. The results for SUN's Win32
JDK vs. the Linux JDK are so disappointing, I wonder if I've
made some goof in running the tests. Any help would be
appreciated.
