from the rest of his post, i gather that the claim isn't that Java vs.
C code of equivalent
quality has C lagging, but rather that some application written in
Java can beat an
application of vaguely equivalent description written in C. the VNC
examples given
say, basically, that the Java app performs better out of the box than
the C app, but it
seems to just be about picking better (for that particular case)
defaults.
i guess my question is really what this observation is intended to
illustrate.
