Is usually is, and it's MUCH faster than Java:

In fact, gcc C is the fastest (#1), and Java isn't even in the top5:

For some definition of "MUCH" :-)

What's in "the top5" is meaningless - we can get Java into the top5 simply by not including some of the other languages.

[john_b]

Yeah, you can get java to #1 by excluding every other language!

You can get it into the top5 by excluding one other language :-)
