I wrote a simple benchmark that just prints a number of lines on the console. 
Java uses about 180 times more CPU on the second level when compared to first 
level. It uses about 40 times more CPU than Perl doing the same thing on second 
level.

When I turn the JIT off the CPU time on the second level is slightly less than 
with the JIT on, but the wallclock time is cut by half.

I find this pretty fascinating, not sure about the others. If no one else 
replies let's move this offline.

Thanks,
