The last time I investigated, which was probably 2-3 years ago, C# was benchmarking faster than Java on Windows. It was also requiring less memory. Do you have newer figures? e.g., a URL we can look at? I searched for "Java vs. C# performance" but get unsatisfactory results. There is page that shows Java as faster, but with a lib that was built in Java for Java and then ported to C#. I get another page that shows C# is faster ... in 1998. I added "2007" and found a "C# is faster" thread but it seems specific to XPath library support. Although this *is* a Linux group and Mono is certainly slower. At least its startup time is faster which is nice when using Cobra for command line scripts. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=csharp&lang2=java -Chuck -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
