I tried searching in the archive, and I could only find discussions from late 2006. Now that FreeBSD 7.0 is out and we have a new scheduler, can someone comment on performance of Java on FreeBSD vs. Linux and others? I tried following the old thread and I believe it was inconclusive rather than that FreeBSD is definitely slower. Yet, there was an argument on how much slower. I would really like to know this information because I will be doing heavy number crunching in Java. A 20% performance gain could save me 1-2 day at a time. Thanks! Shark
