from the rest of his post, i gather that the claim isn't that Java

quality has C lagging, but rather that some application written in
Java can beat an
application of vaguely equivalent description written in C. the VNC
examples given
say, basically, that the Java app performs better out of the box
than the C app, but it
seems to just be about picking better (for that particular case)
defaults.
i guess my question is really what this observation is intended to

Yes, that would be what I meant. Thanks for writing that Anthony,
these things are all pretty clear in my head, but writing them out
clearly is quite hard work.
