From Phoronix: "Have you ever wondered on what operating system Java works the best? While by no means is it a conclusive multi-platform comparison, for this article we ran a number of Java benchmarks on both Windows Vista Premium and Ubuntu Linux to see how the Java Virtual Machine performance differs. In addition, when running Ubuntu we had tested Sun's official Java package as well as the OpenJDK alternative."

From TFA:
> The j2dbench performance was significantly better on Windows Vista Premium, but that's likely attributed to the Intel graphics stack on Linux having little in the way of performance optimizations.
That really depends on what tests were selected to be ran in J2DBench. 6u7 on Windows has only few hw-accelerated rendering primitives.
6u10/11 has new Direct3D rendering pipeline which would have given MUCH better results on Windows. Except that the test was ran on a Intel integrated hw, on which the new Direct3D pipeline is disabled because of drivers quality and performance issues.
