If Java was really faster than C, it would be self hosting, and we would be writing operating systems, databases, and various other systems level stuff in Java. (yes, there are a few well known projects, notably lucene, but that's the exception rather than the rule). Anybody making the case that Java is faster than C simply doesn't know how a computer works. merlin
