Amiga is so efficient because it's so slow. There's not a lot of
horsepower available, so the programmers have to optimize the software
to make it run at an acceptable speed. An amiga just isn't fast enough
to run Java at an acceptable pace, plus not many users have the amount
of ram required.
Then there's the situation of actually writing an interpreter, but
that's another story alltogether...
