Java prevents memory problems and things of that nature. You can still
have bugs because programmers are human.

I've noticed the Linux JRE is slow. Have you compiled it with debugging
symbols and all that jazz? Compile it with -O2 and take out the debugging
symbols. That should speed it up some.

I've got a P150, as I mentioned before, and it's really pretty fast. It's
not as quick as PMconsole for Windows, but the interface makes up for
that, in my opinion. I've also got a PII266 and Amber *screams*, so I
don't know what you consider to be fast or slow.

Well, of course it is. Assembly is also faster than C but I'm not about
to write anything in that... *yick*
