@ReturnOfTheZombie I wrote that message a long time ago. I now know better. But, I do have to disagree with one small detail. If there is code to execute, it can't run in 0ms. Although things happen fast in the processor, they are not instantaneous (which 0ms implies).

[ReturnOfTheZombie]

@ReturnOfTheZombie Correction. When I say "optimized by the compiler", I wanted to write "optimized by the JIT".

[ReturnOfTheZombie]

@maisteri Actually that has been proven wrong already. It largely depends on the programmer. The JIT can eliminate whole branches of native code at runtime if it finds that the execution of that code doesn't have any impact. There are code samples of java that are optimized by the compiler to run in 0ms where as the C++ code will take significant amount of time. Besides, 97% optimization is usually optimized enough. Speed is not the only thing to consider in software :-)

java compilation into ByteCode is done once, when u have compiled your program. java doesn't do that everytime you want to run the program.

[blackmuzzle]

Never heard of JIT before, have you?

[systat]

Java is not interpreted language.

[maisteri]

Java is not faster than C++ and never will be, because Java is an interpreted language.

[Mordaan]

where can I download the music? btw Java can be programmed to play fast. you do have to manage memory yourself and schedule the garbage collector

[DeltaX999]

Java is for sure gaining on c++ for every year, but it has still some way to go before it catch up c++. From what I have heard Java is about 70- 80 % as fast as c++, atleast on newer cpu:s.
