A new set of benchmarks have been published comparing .NET 2.0 performance vs. IBM Websphere.

The results show that the .NET 2.0/Windows Server 2003 implementation of the benchmark application running against SQL Server 2005 outperforms the Java EJB-based WebSphere 6.0.2.3/RedHat Linux implementation by up to 183%. The results also show that .NET achieves significantly better price/performance ratios than WebSphere 6 on all implementations tested. This paper will also show that Java applications can get good performance when connecting to SQL Server 2005: the performance of the PlantsByWebSphere JDBC-based application that uses the soon-to-be-released Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver is approximately equivalent to the performance of the equivalent application that connects to Oracle 10G.
