Java and JVM-based programming languages enjoy a significant advantage here: automatic optimization at runtime for the target processor, even if it's a processor that didn't exist when the code was written. There's a lot of older, compiled C code that runs suboptimally on newer processors. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z & LinuxONE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
