And this is precisely why Java will win.  Microsoft hires contractors,
while we can use automatic garbage collection.  And if we would rather
squeeze out the last drop of performance, we can take a look at this
article:

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/library/i-incrcomp/?ca=dgr-lnx
w06TrashCompactor

Entitled: "Mash that trash -- Incremental compaction in the IBM JDK
Garbage Collector -- How to minimize pause times and free the heap from
dark matter"

Clearly, IBM has this lucrative market next in their sights.  Now, who
wants to write *this* plug-in?
