Java Performance: Ubuntu Linux vs. Windows Vista

Linked by Kroc Camen on Fri 19th Dec 2008 09:04 UTC, submitted by Michael

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."

Sun Solaris is specifically designed to run Sun java with good performance. Its threading model is tuned for java.
It would be interesting to compare its performances with other OS.

I should hope not. Solaris (and Sun OS) predate Java by a wide margin. As with operating system, Solaris will have been designed to work under a large variety of workloads. To tune your whole OS just so another tool released by your company gets a performance edge seems silly to me.
