Scumbria,

Are you ON CRACK?

Garbage collection (which is very inefficient in Java

FYI Java has one of the most efficient grabage collection engines in the history of computing... You really should read more about the technical details of the language. Recent studies show that garbage collection takes only 15% of Java's execution time. Previous attempts at garbage colleciton have been on the order of 35-40%.

The big bottle neck in Java is dynamic class loading and companies like borland are already addressing that... class loading has nothing to do with the garbage collector.

Also which JVM and JIT are you using.. if it's the netscape one, no wonder your performance sucks.. it's 40% slower than the MS one..

Steve
