I did run through the test on FreeBSD with no problems, its pretty good as it creates a HTML table of the results at the end. I didn't much time as well as have anything to compare it to, I tried to run it on a Windows desktop but it won't run as MS has deliberately designed windows non server for a low amount of threads so it fails a lot of the tests etc. http://www.spec.org/jvm2008/ If you were able to spot bottle necks in FreeBSD they tend to get fixed, the problem tends to be finding them, just like how they found kernel locking issues on UDP protocol performance these are now fixed but only after they were pulled to light.
