what would be the use? all it would indicate is how quickly the test suite ran on those platforms. it wouldn't actually tell you how your own applications would perform relatively on those platforms

assuming i'm not programing anything radicaly new but i intend to buy a computer that's it's only purpose in life is to run a java system that anylizes data for me and program java i would very much like to know what is the difference between the o.s i know that jvm used to be slow on macs in the past has it improved .

I haven't seen a lot of benchmarking lately.

My suggestion is that you go for a top-notch mainstream PC. That would mean a standard PC with a good graphics card, lots of main memory, a 4 kernel processor from Intel, and Vista.

This is a system you can buy now (or maybe better at this fall to allow for some time for Vista systems to settle) and you can expect JVMs to be tweaked to perform very well on it in the coming years.
