Bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit.
That's the plain truth. Python 1.5.2 final release is of 13 April
1999 <http://www.python.org/download/releases/1.5/>
JDK 1.2.2 came Friday, July 9, 1999 <http://www.cafeaulait.org/1999july.html>
By the time, Oracle8 installer was a Java application, and required
*several* minutes just to load and start running. That's an example
of java "speed" at that time.
We used to call Java "Ya va!", which in spanish means something like
"Wait, I'm coming!" :)
