Sorry about this OT question, but I figured you guys were the right

ask about this.
A friend of mine (big linux fan) told me that tests at his workplace
indicated a huge (up to 500%) java performance gap between linux and
windows
on machines running on the same hardware, in favour of linux. Sorry also
about the lack of detail here, I don't know the OS and Java version. I'll
get more details from my friend if my description of the issue doesn't
ring
a bell with anyone. You can assume that all software is max 1-2 years
old.
Has anyone here experienced anything similar, with either OS performing
vastly better on any java task? Is the gap widening or closing with newer
versions of Java and OS?
I did experience something like this a few years ago - was still using
tomcat for dev back then
and java1.4.something and i'd get 20-30 sec restarts in win while 5 sec
max in the same machine
booting in Gentoo.
Now, i wouldn't attribute all of this to java (perhaps my win was
running lots of crap under the cover)
but then again, it didn't really matter... the performance diff was huge!
Thanks
Inge
