A note: we're working on converting Orego back from C++ to Java, and
we're getting 5,000 (totally random at this point) simulated games per
second. We'll probably continue in this direction.

Probably the most important feature of any programm is the Bugs/sec. rate.
One method to find bugs is to have 2 independent versions and to compare the
results. This is common practice in hardware design where one has e.g. a C
version/simulator and a VHDL/Verilog design. Or everything is in VHDL but
its programmed at different abstract levels. I does not help against
conceptual bugs, but one catches at leas the "stupid" bugs. I have found
this technique very usefull in Hydra.
I think one should to the same in software-development too. But it is
usually only done in very mission-critical software. But in your case you
have already a Java and a C++ version. This is a big chance. I would develop
both versions further in parallel.
