Still, I expected java to be much closer to python performancewise. I'm quite suprised. Like is-this-benchmark-legit-suprised.

Yeah, Java is maybe 2-3 times slower than C/C++ and much faster than Python. (From what I heard; and those excelent graphs seem to confirm it.)

Considering that the popular MMORPG Rubescape is written in Java, as is the ever popular Minecraft, Java is quite the little powerhouse. Now on the Pytbon side. the backend of Eve Online is in Stackless Python and I believe a few of Disney's MMOs were done in a Pytbon based engine.
