Note that in many of the other benchmarks, the fastest Java program takes 2x to 4x longer than the fastest C program. Still not bad! But knucleotide shows Java in a better light than most: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/java.html http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/java.html (And as always, it's possible that someone can write a much faster Java program than the ones submitted so far.)
