Well, this may be subjective. What may seem like travesty to one may appear completely normal to someone else.
I'm curious though. If you have the time, could you point out in the code in my public project or in my earlier public library where my highly optimized Java code seems like a travesty to you. Personally I can't think of any, especially when compared to C, but as I said that may be highly subjective.
Then again, I almost purely focus on algorithmic optimizations. Most other optimizations are temporary. They either become obsolete or the compiler does them for you after a while. So in the long run I think those optmizations are a waste of time. Which does not mean I'd not revert to them from time to time if I think it's important enough in the short term (like making a program playing fast enough to meet a certain time-constraint.)
