There are many issues other than VM as well. See Cezar's recent mail in reply to your message (his point about the architecture of PHP is a good one). One of the most important things for us at BT was using Sun hardware. I hate to say it, because I am a real exponent of free software, but IMHO the best platform to run Java on is Sun. There VM is the fastest I've ever seen, but I must admit, I don't know much about IBMs. There are lots of other things in addition to what Cezar has said: - Java's maths is faster than PHP - the language is richer (most of Talk21 is actually static data, I challenge you to do this in PHP) - the link to native code for real performance is improved depending on the version of the libraries you use (that's why Sun's is soooo good) - thread control is easy peasy and fast I could go on but the list is creaking already and the last thing it needs is my hot air. If I were you I would do a more complicated test and run 70 or 100 connections at it over a period of some time (hours). See how stable the two are in comparison and I bet with a more complicated test (let alone a new VM) you're servlets will go quicker.
