(O)caml and Java

(O)caml and Java

[Frank Christoph]

  I certainly don't want to make a big issue out of it, but the question is
begging to be asked. :) Has anyone ever compared the time performance of
interpreted (O)caml and Java, or (O)caml/Tk and Java+AWT?  I expect no one has
translated a test suite into both languages, but it would be amusing even to
hear informal accounts...

Some month ago i compared some simple programs:

ocaml bytecompiled seems to be remarkable faster than byte compiled
java.

MMM-applets are remarkable faster than JAVA awt-applets.

I used the JDK-1.02 and gcc-2.7.1

Since there are numerous Java implementations and some of the
most common are the slowest, it would help if you said what
implementations you were compareing and what C compiler you
used as well. -D
