评测报告：.NET的性能仍然远远落后于JavaXML:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:Office:office" />
每个人都看过各种不同的benchmark，有证明.NET比Java快的，也有证明Java比.NET快的。在某些人的手里，benchmark是一面魔镜，透过它能看到想看的东西。所以，当这位名为Cameron的先生要开始在.NET和Java之间做一个benchmark时，他认为自己就是在浪费时间，因为肯定会有人来证明.NET比Java快。
顺便地，Cameron先生提出了10条“不要用于在.NET和Java之间做选择”的理由，其中包括：
Ø 在某一组特定的benchmark中，某一个比另一个快一点；
Ø Microsoft或Sun（或者ORACLE、IBM……）的报告说其中一个比另一个好得多；
Ø 你喜欢（或不喜欢）Bill Gates或者SCOtt McNeally（或者Larry Ellison）；
Ø 你认为Microsoft或者Sun（或者IBM或者Oracle）很邪恶（或者很伟大）；
Ø 你在TheServerSide.com或者Gotdotnet.com（或者Microsoft.com）读了一篇“没有偏见”的文章；
实际上，这次benchmark源于Cameron与tRolf两人在TheServerSide.com网站的一次关于web服务性能的争吵（JSP?thread_id=19226">http://www.theserverside.com/reviews/thread.jsp?thread_id=19226）。在这次的benchmark中，Cameron测试了下列版本：

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_02-b06, mixed mode)
在代码方面，Cameron主要选择了大量ArrayList来进行测试。下列是他的测试代码：
C#
// C# Create 100,000 people in an ArrayList and access them
using System;
using System.Collections;
public class ManyPeople
{
public static void Main()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
test(i);
}
public static void test(int iIter)
{
DateTime start = DateTime.Now;
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
new ManyPeople().Average();
DateTime finish = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine("Total time for iteration " + iIter + ": " + (finish - start));
}
private long Average()
{
ArrayList list = new ArrayList(100000);
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
list.Add(new Person(i, "John " + i));
long silly = 0;
foreach (Person p in list)
silly += p.Id;
return silly / 100000;
}
}
// Person.cs: a very simple guy
public class Person
{
int id;
string name;
public Person(int anId, string aName)
{
this.id = anId;
this.name = aName;
}
public int Id
{
get { return this.id; }
}
}
Java:
// Java Create 100,000 people in an ArrayList and access them
import java.util.*;
public class ManyPeople
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
test(i);
}
public static void test(int iIter)
{
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
new ManyPeople().average();
long finish = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("Total time for iteration " + iIter + ": " + (finish - start));
}
private long average()
{
ArrayList list = new ArrayList(100000);
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
list.add(new Person(i, "John " + i));
long silly = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
silly += ((Person)list.get(i)).getId();
return silly;
}
}
// Person.java: a very simple guy
class Person
{
private int id;
private String name;
public Person(int anId, String aName)
{
this.id = anId;
this.name = aName;
}
public int getId()
{
return this.id;
}
}
Cameron所用的测试机器是P3 1GHz、1G内存的笔记本，操作系统是windows 2000 SP2。下列是在.NET上测试的结果（取最好的6次）：
.NET 1.0sp2:
ManyPeople
Total time for iteration 0: 00:00:07.3004976
Total time for iteration 1: 00:00:07.0501376
Total time for iteration 2: 00:00:07.2504256
Total time for iteration 3: 00:00:07.7311168
Total time for iteration 4: 00:00:07.5007856
Total time for iteration 5: 00:00:07.5007856
.NET 1.1:
ManyPeople
Total time for iteration 0: 00:00:08.0916352
Total time for iteration 1: 00:00:08.5222544
Total time for iteration 2: 00:00:08.3520096
Total time for iteration 3: 00:00:08.6324128
Total time for iteration 4: 00:00:08.3419952
Total time for iteration 5: 00:00:08.1617360
可以看到，同样的代码在.NET 1.1上比.NET 1.0 SP2上慢了大约15%。这是一个很奇怪的现象。并且，Cameron观察到，.NET上同样代码的运行速度并不随运行次数的增加而提高，说明.NET CLR只是简单地进行了JIT编译。而在Hotspot Server上，不仅开始时的性能就有优势，而且速度还会不断提高：

可以看到，随着运行次数的增加，Sun Hotspot Server不断将领先优势拉大，最后几乎比.NET 1.1快了一倍。.NET CLR始终无法将运行时间降低到8秒以下，而Sun Hotspot Server在多次运行之后则可以保持在5秒以下。因此，Cameron认为，对于大运算量的应用程序，Hotspot JVM比Microsoft CLR要快得多。
