Java is Very Fast, If You Don’t Create Many Objects
(blog.vanillajava.blog)
For discussing Java, the JVM, languages that run on the JVM, and other related technologies.
I'm not so sure if the JVM startup was the culprit in your situation. The Computer Language Benchmarks Game shows that even for short runtimes, the startup doesn't affect their performance numbers that much
That link just compares benchmarks with and without warmup, but not without startup. The JVM's startup can take upwards of 2 seconds, depending on the program.
Oh, I'm dumb. Thanks for clearing this up :)
