Every other day, I change my mind, but I think I'll go with Java in
the end. I may hate that decision later, but..well, so be it :)
One day Sun or IBM will come up with some JIT or other tech that
makes it all quicker...and in the meantime, if needed, I can buy
some package that translates it into native code.

I know how you feel. Everytime I run java on Linux, I'm appalled
at the speed, but the wintel/sun numbers are getting fast..so linux
will too, eventually. Hopefully, we'll all have quad PX 1000's
by then anyway... or K9 1000's...who knows :)
