Dan,
I've heard the same thing from Steve Byrne, much to my dismay, but I
believe our test places less emphasis on socket performance than VolanoMark
does, which could mean less of a speed improvement running our benchmark.
Only testing will tell, I suppose. Thanks for the info!

Hi Mr. Young,
I enjoyed reading your article,
http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayTC.pl?/980914analysis.htm
I really liked your technique of factoring out
everything but the Java VM in question. Good job!
I understand that Blackdown's JDK1.1.6v4a has removed
a bottleneck that impacted its Volanomark scores.
I'm cc'ing the Java-Linux list so they can correct me if
I'm wrong.
You might want to repeat the test with that version
in your copious spare time :-)
The raw version is at
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/JDK-1.1.6/i386/glibc/v4a/jdk1.1.6v4a-i386-glibc.
tar.gz
The RPM version can be installed with
rpm -Uvh
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/hurricane/i386/jdk-sbb-1.1.6-4a.glibc.i386
.rpm
or so I'm told.
Thanks,
Dan
