I don't remember the numbers, but my own java and C implementation were written in the same style - same basic data structure and just about the only difference was language. I did do some kind of list trick using pointers than you cannot do in java, at least not easily and efficiently but I don't think it made that much of a difference. The Java version was not that bad for speed compared to C, I think C was something like 2/3 of the speed or close to that. But if you got into heavy duty data structures Java hurts - you won't get as big a tree in Java for instance and I'm sure caching will be a bigger issue. - Don
