By what measurement do you determine that Java is slow ...
My measurement is qualitative, not quantitative. Everything that
uses Java that I've ever encountered on any machine takes a long time
to start and uses up gobs and gobs of memory, regardless of how
trivial the program. Interactive programs all have a somewhat
unresponsive UI, and go non-responsive for seconds at a time at
seemingly random intervals.
IME. YMMV. FWIW. HAND.
... and compared to what?
Compared to molasses crawling backwards uphill in January. ;-)
Okay, that one might not be all that scientific. ;-)
Is it slower for developement, or just running it?
Running software in the JVM/JRE. It could be that compiling
Java-source to Java-bytecode is fast and low-memory; I wouldn't know.
