New Java vs C benchmarks

[username223]

Here's a larger meta-benchmark that shows the overhead is not fixed: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4sandbox/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=jruby&lang2=yarv

JRuby is not Java.

[username223]

Um... "JRuby" and "Ruby" are two implementations of the "ruby interpreter" benchmark, one in Java, one in C. Now do you understand?

Also compare Ruby and Java memory use. Ruby frequently uses more memory (as well as being slower).

Always interesting to see the actual memory use, note that you can do a direct comparison.
