If the Java code is restricted enough then I think gcj will be as good
as C.
For best performance I think the code would have to:
* Not make static or final ("nonvirtual") method calls
(These induce overhead relative to C++)
* Not use arrays
(C++ does check bounds)
* Not "look like" it might throw an exception (this prevents
reordering code)
There may be other restrictions that I can't think of. These are
pretty restrictive, but the Math code might satisfy them. I haven't
looked.
