Well Jerry, 'bloody fast' means something like 'faster that PHP' in here.

You know as well as I do that it all depends on what kind of test you run.

If you want to see some benchmarks, I like these:
http://kano.net/javabench/
Graphs:
http://kano.net/javabench/data
(a bit old)

Or maybe the article by Lewis & Neumann:
http://scribblethink.org/Computer/javaCbenchmark.html
(a bit old too and also about Fortran, which I barely know, maybe you do.)

Java isn't slow. Maybe a little slower (a few %) than good C(++) code.
That isn't important. Every few months the CPUs get faster, so who cares
about a few percentage?

But this is about a good IDE, and I mainly wanted to tell the OP that
Java (hotspot VM) is doing a good job (fast).
If the IDE is slow it is because it is busy doing complicated stuff, not
because the language it is programmed in (Java) is slow.
Of course, the IDE can also be slow because of poorly programming, but I
don't expect that in Eclipse and Netbeans.

Regards,
Erwin Moller

PS: Please never ask me to define "bloody fast" again. ;-)
