Go up one level in this thread


The claim of C like performance is largely unfounded. It is seen under
relatively restricted conditions. Most often programs dominated by short inner
loops. And even then only when the bytecode has not removed too much information
from the original program as to perform additional optimization passes. The
bytecode is too coarse grained. And tend to destroy a lot of useful information
that is possible to glean from the sources.
