Booth,

I can't address this from detailed knowledge. I do remember Blair Wyman, I think, giving a session at COMMON about how IBM improved Java performance over other flavors by driving some of the stuff down to the MI level.

A lot of things, also, depend upon one's OS level and chip set. For example, when we moved from a Power4 system to Power5, our end-of-day process went from about 1 hour to less than 15 minutes last night (and we've added stuff to it in the last five years). It's no different that comparing a 286 PC to whatever the latest one is called.

Java is, after all, an interpreted (as opposed to compiled) language. Java is, then, going to be slower than a similarly compiled machine-level flavor.

Java performance on the i ? Good? Bad? OK?

I am being told that "Java on the i sucks." What is the proper response?
