Here are a couple of benchmarks under Linux (Red Hat
7.2) on my AMD Athalon 650 with an IDE hard drive.
The result using the Sun VM is in line with results
you have already posted, but the IBM seems
signifigantly faster.  I'm also including the result
from porting your benchmark to Ruby.  It performs
surprisingly well.  Here's a link containing more
information about the Ruby version:

JVM info:

[hensleyl@ralph ruby]$ /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/java
-version
java version "1.4.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
(build 1.4.0-beta-b65)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta-b65,
mixed mode)

[hensleyl@ralph ruby]$ /opt/IBMJava2-13/bin/java
-version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
(build 1.3.0)
Classic VM (build 1.3.0, J2RE 1.3.0 IBM build
cx130-20010925 (JIT enabled: jitc))

I hope this is helpful.
