It is incorrect to state that Java (in the original Java bytecode format)
programs are as fast as native programs - simply because they are not in
the Java bytecode format anymore, unless an interpreter (or an older/original
JIT is being used).
The Java bytecode is just an interplatform transport format, as far as non-
Java CPUs go.

Hmm.. this is either a repost, or my uplink reset his messagebase attributes.
I've read this message before.
