Performances with gcj

Hi all, I had to release a program that executes an external process and gets its standard output. I implemented a solution with threads and pipes to redirect inputs and outputs (cf PipeTest.java). I choose the 'find /' command to test it. I'm very surprised about gcj performances which are 5x slowly than sun jvm. In fact, I expected that my compiled program would be faster than all jvm. Do you have an idea about these differences ? Is that the gnu classpath implementation which is quiet slow ? Regards, Benjamin # test1 : bash $ time find / real 2m6.054s user 0m5.260s sys 0m6.990s # test2 : compilation with gcj $ gcj --main=PipeTest -o test.bin PipeTest.java $ time test.bin real 18m50.632s user 4m56.380s sys 8m31.940s real 19m38.148s user 5m9.660s sys 9m44.710s # test3: interpretation with gij $ gcj -C PipeTest.java $ time gij PipeTest real 22m39.882s user 6m7.580s sys 10m26.350s # test4 : interpretation with java $ javac PipeTest.java $ time java PipeTest real 3m35.035s user 1m18.710s sys 0m11.730s ##### compilers ##### $ gcj --version gcj (GCC) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu6) $ javac -version javac 1.6.0_03
