Sun's linux VM slower than windows edition?

Hi!

Is it possible that the Linux implementarion of the j2sdk 1.4.2 VM is
noticably slower than the Windows version?

I wonder what the blackdown project should be good for. Are there faster
1.4+ VMs available for Linux?

Is it? It doesn't seem like that for me. Working fine. I used both the
blackdown and the sun vm, but jprofiler will not profile the blackdown vm,
so I switched back to sun's vm.

IBM's VM is known to be fast, and when I tested it out with tomcat it
seemed faster, but there's no way to be sure but to test it yourself.

It's slower here. I've never heard any reports of it being faster.

Often X is blamed for most visible aspect of the slowdown.

Maybe X was designed without bearing performance considerations in mind.

I suspect this is part of the story - and that lack of investment in the
Linux JVM is another.
