Execute C code instruction Ñ 1 clock cycle ( 10^8 per sec)
|
Run a client-side C subroutine Ñ can do up to 10^6 instructions in time that is significant for user (few milliseconds)
|
JavaVM interpreter Ñ roughly 50 times slower than C
|
JavaVM Just in Time compiler (effectively compile JavaVM in real time) Ñ roughly 2Ð8 times slower than C
|
Native Java compiler Ñ same speed as C
|
Perl interpreter (processes entire program before interpreting) Ñ 500 times slower than C except in runtime
|
Tcl, JavaScript "true" interpreters Ñ 5000 times slower than C
-
Can still do 100-1000 instructions in time that users don't notice!
