What we can see there? 

A big surprise, our application was performing almost the same on each JVM. The presented results are average, I ran the application 10 times on each JVM. No real improvement, so it did not make sense to migrate to another JVM and invest time in proving its stability.

CONCLUSION
The main finding was that no speedup was observed for the in-memory cache application that I was working on. This resulted in no JVM migration and subsequent testing. The project was closed faster and there were no lingering doubts about whether a change in JVM would increase performance.

Interestingly, the simple application that I developed executed 3X faster on IBM JDK. This indicates that application characteristics can result in significant differences in their performance on JVMs.

The main point is to test the application that you want to tune on different JVMs. It is simple and quick to do and you may be surprised by the performance increases that you see.
