I know this is now WAY offtopic, but we were almost there so...

Does anyone know of objective performance comparisons between different 
virtual machines.  The only thing I can find is from 1999.  

I would also be interested in what the populous of this list thinks and is 
using.  We are on Linux / Intel so that is what I am looking towards. 


Thanks and sorry about the OT post.
