Yes, running in the JVM is better. I've tried pretty hard to make this work well and as a result, I don't recommend writing integration tests in GWT (or JavaScript). Integration tests are naturally represented as a sequence of actions that perform I/O, and this works better on a platform that supports blocking I/O natively. There are design patterns to make a chain of async callbacks look more sequential, but the resulting code still ends up looking pretty unnatural and hard to debug.
