Recently I have heard the bellow statement. Can someone please elaborate on it?

With client side applications, Java has better performance than .Net. The reason is that .Net environment on the server-side (iis?) is different than its client side. While Java uses the same environment at both ends. Since frameworks performance is optimized mainly on the service side, .Net client side is not as good as .Net server side or Java.

Update: I believe he also mentioned the difference between clients (XP, VISTA) and servers (Windows 2008 server) with respect to .Net

    In client operating systems you get a concurrent garbage collector. It is slower in absolute time, but it appears to the user to be faster because they get shorter pauses.

    In server operating systems you get a serial garbage collector. It is faster overall, but has to pause applications longer.

    This is old information, I don’t know if it is still true.

    EDIT: Java also has a client and server modes. Unlike .NET this isn’t tied to the OS, you instead pass it as a command line parameter.

    Edit 2: From MSDN Magizine in Dec. 2000

    On a multiprocessor system running the server version of the execution engine (MSCorSvr.dll), the managed heap is split into several sections, one per CPU. When a collection is initiated, the collector has one thread per CPU; all threads collect their own sections simultaneously. The workstation version of the execution engine (MSCorWks.dll) doesn’t support this feature.

    Again, this is old information and may have changed.
