I would suggest using C# if you are using the Windows platform. It's quite fast, and MS provides a program to convert from Java to C#[1], so you may save a bunch of redevelopment time. Even if you're not on Windows, there will soon options to still use .net, such as Rotor[2] and Mono[3].
On a related note, I am working on a spider in C#, and if a lot of other people are working a new spiders as well, perhaps we should look at starting a .net open source project, based on something like the BSD/X11 license (to allow commercial inclusion).
