<snip many great responses on the reasons for the unexpected results>
So where is the barrier between when its a good idea performance-wise
to write code in C as opposed to java (forgetting Objective-C for the
moment)? I guess I'm just confused as to what people mean when they say
java is slow, or is this just a myth? Or are there certain areas where
this is true, like Swing GUI? Also, does anyone know the performance
difference between Java and Objective-C Objects? I seem to get the
impression that the Garbage Collector might actually help performance,
especially in cases where there's a loop where autorelease doesn't get
the chance to work.
I didn't really mean my test as a performance measure, I was really
just curious and wondering why the results came out as they did, which
people have answered fairly well.
Thanks
