I was considering whether we needed to write some image resampling
inner loops in C++, and wrote a little bilinear interpolation
"mock up" resampling routine.
On a Celeron machine the ibm jdk is actually a hair faster than
the C++ version compiled with -O. Note that the C++ is not
compiled with any more exotic flags, and quite probably
is not making use of PII instructions, but nevertheless this
is a pretty satisfying result. I find it a bit hard to reconcile
with my subjective experience of swing interfaces.
The benchmark ("RESAMPLE") java and C++ source codes are at
