Mike Dolan likes what he’s read about compared performance of cross-compiled .NET applications to Java using Grasshopper. (Mainsoft is an advanced IBM business partner and works with several teams within IBM, including the Linux team).

He’s referring to this PDF file:

“I was looking through the report and was amazed that in most of the testing scenarios, the .NET applications ran better on Linux than on Windows! Yes, faster. “

I agree, it’s pretty darn cool. Actually, the sentence he’s referring to has more to do with the WebSphere platform than anything else:

“The Java EE version of the application also showed that in multi-CPU environments, the scalability characteristics of Java EE and WebSphere Application Server began to show marked improvements over the original .NET application”

But the thing worth noting is this:

“The ported version of the application showed equivalent performance in average response time, and equivalent performance in server throughput. Thus, an SLA could be met using the ported version of the application without additional hardware investment”

P.S

Thanks for the kind words, Boris!
