Simon Chapman's Blog: Microsoft .NET 2.0 Benchmarks

TheServerSide.Net have some Microsoft .NET 2.0 Benchmarks.

Some highlights:

.NET 2.0 Beta 2 has roughly twice the XML DOM transaction throughput compared to .NET 1.x and Sun Java JVM 1.5.

.NET 2.0 Beta 2 (on IIS 6.0) web performance blows away the current leaders: IBM HTTP Server (with IBM WebSphere 6.0) and SunOne HTTP Server (with JWSDP 1.5).
