Joe,

I don't think it is all the JVM, the difference is in the operating
system. The CPU speed and cache, disk cache, and memory affinity tuning
of a single workload are probably the biggest part of the improvement.
This isn't such a big deal with real-life mixed workloads. Here is a
link for you to look at:

I'm not saying ANYTHING definitively, Marty.  I'm just saying what the
numbers said.  The 24-way model 840-2420 scored about 80,000 on JDK
1.3.0, while the 32-core (which I assume is 16 2-core CPUs) i5 595
scored 880,000 on JDK 1.4.2.

What exactly does this mean?  I don't know, but it's a damned curious
number, don't you think?...
