The only real definitive answer here is going to come from somebody
doing some benchmarks.

To do this you need to pick a Java implementation to benchmark against.
Probably Sun's is a good default, although IBM's has somewhat of a
reputation for being faster (I haven't read any 1.4 benchmarks comparing
the two though).
