I find these benchmarks slightly dubious because everytime I look into the actual code I find that is written some obscure manner. For example - here is the code of the Java "knucleotide" benchmark: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/program.php?test=knucleotide&lang=java&id=7 http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/program.php?tes... (If I understand the website correctly.) Look at the way data is read (scanPastHeader, readRestIntoByteArray, fullSequence). Or how the result of calculateHash is put into a HashMap where it immediately would be hashed again. I think this is neither the most natural or performant way of solving the problem in Java.
