Right now - no, I couldn't notice any significant difference while running tomcat. It is as fast as IBM JIT ( and faster than hotspot ). However it start much faster, and get to the peak performance sooner ( since all optimizations are already done ). Another nice thing is that all the java code is actually compiled to .so - and fully interoperable with C++ ( for C you need to deal with the mangling ). That's very similar with C# and .net languages, and it's not bad at all. GCJ can be a very good answer to .NET, with a bit of work it may allow the same language independence ( GCC already does a lot in this direction ).
