<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
