This may NOT be the place for this discussion but since the question
was asked about Java running best on Sparc with Solaris ...
On the contrary the JVM is only as good as the supporting
components that it runs on. In particular the threads library
that it sits on. Plus all the other components all others
have mentioned here like tcpip stack, name server etc. if
you factor in networking components.
The JVM may not run best on Solaris. If you are interested
in performances of JVMs go to www.tpc.org or www.volano.com
They both publish JVM numbers.
I was told (and this might be a biased information, so discretion
is adviced and apologies to whoever is offended) that Suns
JVM performance was bad enough last year compared
to IBM's they (Sun) had to pull out their numbers from the SPECjbb
benchmarks from www.tpc.org
just my 2 cents
