Thanks for the responses. It seems the consensus is that the slow responsiveness of Java apps is mostly due to an issue with Swing and how it is used rather than with garbage collection. That sounds very encouraging.
The last point that interested me was: I heard someone mention that applications written using the Apple Java-Cocoa bridge was also noticeably less responsive than native applications in Objective-C, that person said it's because of java's GC though it seems that this is probably not the real culprit. What other reasons could there be the Java-Cocoa application being less responsive? Thanks -Patrick
