Foil 186 Use of Native Classes to Speed Up Execution

From Basic Lectures on Java Language Applets Graphics Networking Trip to China and Icase Tutorial -- July 12-28 and June 10-13 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox * Critical Information in IMAGE

One can essentially augment supplied Java Runtime by supplying your own C or other code implementing a particular functionality in a higher performance mode
This of course generates machine dependence and should only be used if really needed
First for classes you wish to implement in native fashion, put in your java code lines like:
public native mustgofast(arguments); // default functions
static {System.loadLibrary("faststuffhere");} // static and in class and so runs only ONCE! and loads the native code
