[Shootout-list] Java benchmarks

[Daniel South]

Isaac, just had a quick look at this site
http://www.w3sys.com/pages.meta/benchmarks.html
(found when looking at Keith Lea's site) and it reminded me of the 
discussion concerning the tcp tests
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/shootout-list/2005-March/001226.html
and whether or not they were measuring the server time as well. This 
could be a similar case for all Java programs using the server option.

||
|| As a concrete example, here are timings for knucleotide:
||
|| IBM java
|| 1.205u 0.073s 0:01.17 108.5%    0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
||
|| Sun java (-client)
|| 1.291u 0.053s 0:01.38 97.1%     0+0k 0+0io 1pf+0w
||
|| Sun java (-server)
|| 1.785u 0.061s 0:01.45 126.8%    0+0k 0+0io 1pf+0w
||
|| As you can see, it would be really nice to have the IBM jdk
|| available for testing as well. It seems to be generally faster than
|| the Sun jdk.
