I understand that Java has made significant strides in terms of performance improvement over the years. It is a really a good language in terms of design. :) I tried the shootout game to see the performance differences of Java, Cpython and C++ and found pretty interesting behaviors. Here is the link: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ There are three Java states given, Java -xint, Java steady state and Java -server. Try choosing each of them and compare against Python and C++. With respect to Python, you will find the alternative differences in with java -xint and java -server and while java steady state will always be faster ( I think, the java steady stage ignores the loading of the virtual machine). But all of them will slower when compared to C++. Yeah, it is right to expect that JVM based will be slower than compiled C++ code. Is it not? I have found many blogs with comparisons, like the one with the Josephus problem implementation, but the shootout game seems to be a good one to use IMO. -- Senthil "The identical is equal to itself, since it is different." -- Franco Spisani _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
