JVM startup time was included in these results. That means even with JVM startup time, Java is still faster than C++ in many of these tests. With some tweaks and lots of resources.
Lack of Progress Bar (Lopb) is an Eclipse plugin that tracks how long developers wait for background jobs to complete. By benchmarking the performance of background jobs, Lopb provides developers with metrics on how much of their day was wasted due to overhead introduced by the development tools and infrastructure that they depend on or access through their IDE.
I did some research recently on memcached and how it compares to ehcache. The following graph shows the time taken for 10,000 puts, gets and removes, for 10,000 cache items. It uses the latest released versions of memcached and ehcache. In memcached's cas
I just saw this page comparing the performance of several languages on a simple Mandelbrot set generator. His numbers show Java being over twice as slow as C, but then I noticed that he's using an older version of java and only running the test once, whic
The goal of this project is to provide a comparison of the existing open-source and commercial (when available for free evaluation download) libraries for binding XML data to Java classes. The libraries are evaluated in several areas, including ease of use (the amount of effort needed to invest to the first successful run), the size of the accompanying jar files and the performance. In this project, the main emphasis is put into providing the performance comparisons, both in time and in memory. For various aspects of XML binding you can visit this link (courtesy of Ronald Bourret).
With all the recent hubbub about GlassFish, I decided to do a quick performance test this morning. I downloaded all the most recent versions of the various open source application servers, deployed AppFuse 1.9.3 (Struts version) on them, and ran "ant test
