Javaworld magazine evaluated Java VM performance and 
scalability. It turns out that... IBM's OS/2 Java VM 
running over OS/2 Warp Server for e-Business ('Aurora') 
tops the speed tests!. It is faster than IBM's own Java VM 
for NT, faster than Microsoft's Java VM, and faster than 
Redhat Linux!. It didnt get as high as solaris on the 
scalability test but due to an acknowledged bug in the 
Aurora uniprocessor kernel (which IBM says will be fixed).

A couple quotes:

> Is it fast?
> Each time I run a set of VolanoMark tests against the
> latest batch of Java virtual machines I find some 
> surprises, and this time is no exception. IBM now
> dominates VolanoMark performance, whether on Windows
> NT 4.0 or on its new OS/2 Warp Server for e-business.
> IBM's Java virtual machine for Windows NT is a
> remarkable 20 percent faster than the alternatives
> from Microsoft and Sun. On OS/2 Warp Server it even
> beats Tower Technology's TowerJ static compiler, 
> showing that it is possible for normal Java virtual
> machines to surpass native performance, even if
> that's not yet happening on the same operating
> system.
