Where are you getting the idea that whatever observed slowness is due to
fproxy being written in Java?  My suspects are 1) slow network and
2) the fact that currently fproxy, even though it runs in the node,
makes an FNP connection to the node to do requests.

Competition is always good.  But I don't think the speed boost you're
assuming you'll obtain is really there..
