I have the latest 1.4.2 native jdk I built on 5.3R/i386 on a Dual Opteron (2 x 2.0ghz) system. I ran some simple java benchmarks. I compared that to a Gentoo Linux (2.4.x kernel) system that is a Dual Athlon Mp 2800+ (2.1ghz) running the Sun 1.4.2 jdk. The FBSD one was about 3% slower in the tests I did. That is compared to the Sun native jdk on linux. I know the HW was not the same, but it is comparable, and the java performance is comparable, and should only get better. Chad
