This is more-or-less my feeling on that matter as it applies to most programs (without commenting on the merits or faults of Java specifically)

Yeah, any reasonable compiler is far better at understanding memory management and exploiting the various awesome specifics of a processor line than a human being can ever hope to accomplish. Gotta love the people who claim to care about performance but never empirically test if all their stuff actually does run faster.

Use of the Java language in real-time systems isn't widespread for a number of significant reasons. These include the nondeterministic performance effects inherent in the Java language's design, such as dynamic class loading, and in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) itself, such as the garbage collector and native code compilation

are you actually suggesting that a program where the garbage collector permanently manages the memory allocation in the background is faster then one where the memory management happens only a dozen times per program runtime ? Have you ever heard the idea of "real-time-execution" and how Java is the perfect counter-example for it because of its garbage collection.



Either way, make a topic if you're still not convinced. Let's keep this one about funny pictures.
