StringBuffer Testing Result with JDK 1.6.0

This section describes thread test results with JDK 1.6.0.

After installing JDK 6u2, I tested the StringBuffer program again on a Windows XP system. Here are the results.

JVM                    Capacity   Capacity   Capacity   Capacity
                       Default    237        320        640

HotSpot 1.6.0 Client   454        313        328        344
HotSpot 1.6.0 Server   407        291        297        312

The results still show that higher initial capacities slow down the performance slightly.
