Java performance on new iMac?

The short question: does anyone know if Java is running native or through Rosetta in the Intel-based macs?

The longer version: Can anyone provide (or make an educated guess as to) the comparative performance of Java on the new Intel-based iMac? In my case, I'm using maven to run unit and integration tests. On a dual 2.7 G5, they take about 1:10 (m:s), and about 2:00 (m:s) on a 2 GHz iMac G5.

I'm assuming some gains will be made simply from having two processors available, but these tests are single threaded (there's a difference of seconds between a 500 MHz G4 Powerbook and dual 500 MHz G4 PowerMac with both coming in just under 5 minutes).

I'm trying to determine if the new iMac is a good buy for my development work, of if I should wait until the PowerMac (Mactel?) machines are available.

Thanks,

Mark
