[2002-02-12] Measuring Application Performance
When considering a benchmark to determine the overall performance of a Java application, bear in mind that bytecode execution, native code execution, and graphics each play a role. Their impact varies depending on the nature of the specific application: what the application does, how much of it is bytecode versus native code, and how much use it makes of graphics. How well a JVM will perform for a given application depends on how the unique mix of these three functional areas maps onto its capabilities. Given these variables, the best way to benchmark a JVM is against your own application. Since that´s not possible before the application has been written, you must find those benchmarks that are most relevant to the application you intend to write.
