Well I finally got IBMs VM on my box and compared it against my latest Kaffe under JServ. IBM 70/sec, Kaffe 12/sec (about 6x slower). Not good numbers if you ask me. As I've claimed before the JIT3 stuff while not yet complete even now is *not* 6x slower than IBMs VM.
For non-concurrent tests (so we're avoiding any benifits of kernel threading) we get IBMs VM with 45/sec and Kaffe with 12/sec - about 4x slower. I can certainly see a x2 because of the JIT but I think Kaffe has some bad library stuff happening too (a hunch - I've seen this kind of thing before). The native threading is happening as we speak so we should see that improvement real soon now.
