I got: OpenJDK 8: ~80-90 ms OpenJDK 11: ~60 ms OpenJDK 14: ~50-55 ms The first runs were a bit slower, perhaps because the files needed by the JVM weren't in disk cache or something. Other languages/runtimes: Python 2.7: 20-25 ms Python 3.8: 30-40 ms Native binary compiled from C: 1-3 ms (so bordering on unmeasurable at millisecond resolution) This was on Linux, and an entirely unrigorous experiment. edit: formatting
