RE: Java Benchmarks - AS/400 Kicks - A#$

Like comparing a ferrari to a souped up integra.  Of course the AS/400 is
gonna walk on it.  And the 840 has dem new soc cpus.  

I'd put a one way 720 against an Athlon ghz machine any day as well.

Does the Sun machine really need 30GB of memory.  Was that a typo or the
reason it was so slow?  ;)
