?This page lists books related to Java performance. Of course my own book (2003) "Java Performance Tuning" Jack Shirazi (O'Reilly) is obviously the best despite it's age, but for those of you who prefer to make up your own mind rather than take my obviously unbiased advice, I list all the ones I know of.
