Hi all,

Has anyone run any benchmarks for OpenJDK JVM vs. Oracle JVM for a recent 
version of DSpace on Java 7?

Everything I've read online suggests that Oracle *for Java 7* is not 
significantly faster than OpenJDK.

I'm inclined to prefer OpenJDK because:
  a) the JDK can be installed and upgraded from standard repos for most Linux 
distributions
  b) it is the reference implementation for Java SE 7 
(https://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/moving_to_openjdk_as_the), and
  c) it’s open source

However, Oracle would probably be the better choice if it offers better 
performance. (I'm a Java amateur and don't think I would be able to construct a 
comprehensive benchmark suite for this comparison.)

Is Oracle faster/more performative than OpenJDK (for DSpace on Java 7)? Or are 
suggestions to that effect just a holdover from the Java 6 situation, where 
Oracle was clearly superior to OpenJDK?

Thanks,

Jacob Brown
