They are noticably faster. It is on my list of things to merge into GNU Classpath (which is the upstream library source of libgcj). You can already use their implemeentation by installing a GCJ-friendly GNU-Crypto <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-crypto/> and replacing the security.privider.1 in lib/security/classpath.security with gnu.crypto.jce.GnuCrypto.
