If you care about performance - and a lot of people who run IT operations do - Sun just pushed the envelope again on performance for its open source app server (essentially GlassFish). Not only does this remain the only OpenSource submission, it also demonstrates better performance than all other competitors (for a single CPU deployment).
Achieving world class performance takes time and energy - what we're seeing is the cumulation of many years hard work - laying the foundations for a fast, high throughput platform that the entire Sun stack can benefit from.
It's also a great demonstration of what is achievable if you are a systems company like Sun - understanding the hardware, the OS, the virtual machine and the applications that run on it - gives Sun a real edge.
Update
Eduardo and Scott have more details and the all important SPEC standard disclaimer.
