JIT really 3 to 10 times slower than C

Posted by Tim Josling on 30 May 1998, 5:50 PM

The article claims JIT-tun programs are 3 to 10 times slower
than native C. On the strenghth of this I converted my
Java program to C. Result: 20% faster only (not worth
losing Java benefits for).

So, where is the evidence that Java is 3 to 10 times slower
with a JIT?
