I am working on a web site where Java will be used heavily.
I have a consultant working with me and he mentioned the Volano report
which shows FreeBSD in a pitifull state compared to other platforms.

Why was FreeBSD's performance so bad on that report? Was it because
they did not use a
JIT in FreeBSD?

I was also a little surprised that there are not many messages in the
FreeBSD archives about this topic.

Did a search on deja.com and found a note from Nate Williams which
partly has:

>> The Linux Blackdown JDK was run with TYA, but the author didn't seem to
>> be aware that TYA will work with FreeBSD too.
                     
>He didn't realize because it's not widely known.  By the time he got around to veryifying his

I just searched the ports and found both Shujit and TYA. Any
recommendations as to which one works best with FreeBSD?
