Yes, that is possible. Java was dead slow early on (I first used it soon after it came out, and pioneered use of servlets in my
company at the time), but after Sun's management threw millions of dollars and high-end tech people at the problem, it got fast enough for many uses in a few years, what with the Hotspot VM and JIT tech and so on.

I had read about that at around that time.
