The SPECint and SPECfp benchmark suites were never very tightly connected to real-world performance, but I wonder what these figures look like for SPECjbb, the java benchmark.

(If I recall correctly, SPECjbb spins up an app that looks a lot like "java pet store" and runs clients against it.)

What I've heard is that you should mostly pay attention to the gcc compilation part of SPEC if you want a good indication of real world performance.

Never use a single workload as a predictor of performance of the universe of all other workloads. The best benchmark is not a benchmark at all – it is your actual workload.
