For Java 6, the Sun JDK is the reference implementation. For Java 7, OpenJDK is the reference implementation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_implementation I don't think Oracle's version could really be called slow. Sun invented Java. Sun open sourced Java. Oracle bought Sun. The Oracle implemetation is likely more conservative than some of the other implementations, like the one by IBM. The IBM implementation is pretty aggressive with optimization, so aggressive that Solr and Lucene have a history of revealing bugs that only exist in that implementation. Thanks, Shawn
