Yes. But I am talking about J2EE-type loads. The new GC improves things a bit for multi-CPU Linux but essentially still the slowest JVM for J2EE. The GC tuning seems more complex for the Sun JDK and they don't have the wealth of tech notes that IBM produces.
That's why BEA have Rockit and IBM produce their own SDK for WebSphere. A lot of folks have found that JBoss runs slower with the Sun JDK than with the BEA or IBM implementations.
Don't get me wrong. Sun is good with the innovation part but doesn't seem to take it that extra distance to get high-performance and tuning out of the product - or at least easily explain how to achieve high performance.
