OT : VM's
I know this is now WAY offtopic, but we were almost there so...
Does anyone know of objective performance comparisons between different
virtual machines. The only thing I can find is from 1999.
I would also be interested in what the populous of this list thinks and is
using. We are on Linux / Intel so that is what I am looking towards.
Thanks and sorry about the OT post.

I liked the O'Reilly book on Java Performance Tuning
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596000154/
Published in September 2000, it had some comparisons of the different JVM's
available at that time.
