Just for curiosity, I'm wondering why the default VM for openjdk6 is the 
Client VM:
    $ /usr/local/openjdk6/bin/java -version
    openjdk version "1.6.0"
    OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b21)
    OpenJDK Client VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)

This is not consistent with the other JVM I've installed: jdk15, jdk16, diablo-
jdk16 and not even with openjdk7!
I don't know if benchmarks/scimark2 could be considered a good benchmark to 
measure performances for real usage, but I get a 142% composite score running 
it with "-server" option.
