The fact that *every comment* about relative performance has been about amortizing startup across many runs beings to suggest, however, that head-to-head the performance sucks. Er, that head-to-head performance isn't the measurement where JVM shows well. Is that true? In lots of the real world, just the amortizing of startup costs can be enough to make CGI clearly the wrong choice for a feature; I fully understand that and agree with it, and have made that choice. I'm asking about the other because, well, I'm curious about that, too. -- David Dyer-Bennet / Welcome to the future! / dd-b at dd-b.net SF: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ Minicon: http://www.mnstf.org/minicon/ Photos: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/
