This is completely off topic as it is, but I can't help it: anyone who
is arguing that Java is faster than C must be oblivious to the fact
that Java internals are *written in C*. If Java was really faster
than C, it would be self hosting, and we would be writing operating
systems, databases, and various other systems level stuff in Java.
(yes, there are a few well known projects, notably lucene, but that's
the exception rather than the rule).
Anybody making the case that Java is faster than C simply doesn't know
how a computer works.
