I work for a company that builds big (I mean BIIIIG) web applications for
transaction-based e-commerce business models. We are nearing completion of
the transition from ASP.Net to JSP. The reasons are two fold:
1. cross-platform support
2. due to #1, the ability to better tailor the hardware and software (OS)
for individual customer requirements.
What we've found is that performance between the two offerings was very
similar, but once we moved away from Windows+Intel[1] to Linux+AMD64 the
real performance advantages started to be obvious.
Java on 64bit platforms simply wins hands down in the bangs-per-buck stakes
when pitted against Windows on IA32. I guess that's rather obvious, but we
didn't expect to see performance gains in orders of magnitude for
throughput and 70-80% improvements is script runtime etc.
