No, as you explain below.

Java is cross platform. 22x faster than Java should mean 22x faster than
Java as a whole, not Java on Netscape for Linux, the slowest Java implementation,
exclusively. As it happens, if you're used to the dog slow Java of Windows, then
you're in for a treat when you use the SDK, 'cos it's SLOWER.

Unless you deal entirely in string manipulation (unlikely)...

Thanks
