    I got faster results from Jdk1.5 on windows (21.4) versus Visual C++ v6 (maximise speed) (25.317)

    Even including the JVM start up speed, java was faster.

    It's benchmark numbers.

    How can actual timings be Flamebait? I've run the tests on windows and gotten similar results.

    You're either lying like hell, or something is severly fucked up with your system. I happen to have both Netbeans (jdk1.5) and MSVC (M$VC 6) open at the moment so I popped in your code. - actually here is the exact code i used:


    Java:


    long end,start = System.currentTimeMillis();

    double t = 0, lp, ilp;
    for (lp = 0; lp = 0; ilp --)
                t ++;

    end = System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.printf("Execution time %f", (end-start)/1000.0f);


    C++


    long end,start = GetTickCount();

    double t = 0, lp, ilp;
    for (lp = 0; lp = 0; ilp --)
                t ++;

    end = GetTickCount();
    printf("Execution time %f", (end-start)/1000.0f);


    Results:


    C++ (no optimisation) 97.57 sec
    C++ (maximise speed) 25.37 sec
    Java (no settings at all) 21.41 sec

    "The United Nations is mostly a cheesy assortment of corrupt blowhards jockeying for and exercising undeserved powers for their own petty national and personal interests. Not to mention that many members don't come anywhere close to being "democracies" in any sense of the word. The very thought of turning over control of the root of the Internet to the U.N. is misguided and absurd on its face."

    Well, how can one argue against such well reasoned and fact-filled post.

    Ignore the rest of the world, our opinion is all irrellevant after all. Good thing American politics isn't filled with people jockeying for power and personal interest. Must be because American politics is god-given and the rest of the world must just be the devil's own.

  14. Re:Interesting, but I doubt it'll work on Java Urban Performance Legends · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I did play a bit with different GC'rs and startup parameters. To be honest, I'm not convinced it's Java's fault - I really didn't analyse the problem all that carefully. The thing is, for this game I'm deliberately trying to make the potential audience as wide as possible (hence not using 3d accelleration, which I'd usually do) and I just thought not using Java might just be simpler in that instance. As I was kinda 50/50 about how I was going to implement the game, this issue just tipped me in another direction. I might well use Java for other future projects (I *am* using Java for my map editor ;o) )

    Also, it was a fairly bleeding edge version of Java and I didn't experiment much, so I can't claim this is definitively a Java issue. Probably my crap coding =)

  15. Re:Interesting, but I doubt it'll work on Java Urban Performance Legends · · Score: 1

    I've coded up a lot of mini games in Java and C++. What I've found is that Java/OpenGL performance is pretty much exactly the same as C++/OpenGL.

    I'm currently working on a 2d game - I've compared C++/SDL versus Java and found that performance is identical although in this case I'm going with C++/SDL because I found that the Java version suffered from some JIT stuttering at the start which I couldn't get rid of.

    I've never had that stuttering problem in 3d, so either I fucked up with the code, or perhaps the fact that the 3d games offload rendering meant that it wasn't a noticible effect in that context.

    At any rate, my conclusion is that Java performance is fine in raw throughput, but sometimes you can have issues with smoothness. My other conclusion would be that people who think Java is slow are talking crap. I code C++ and Java and my choosing between them is an issue of how I want to distribute code rather than a performance issue.

    There are plenty of fuckwits and general losers in the US who have the right to vote. Will you throw away democracy in the US because some bad people can vote?

    No.

    The whole point of democracy is to do the will of the majority and the UN does manage to survey the will of the majority of the planet. That's a mighty important voice to just dismiss.

    Personally, I'd say if the US wants to diffuse terrorism, it would do well to dispell the image of itself as unilateral bully thumbing its nose at world opinion.

    Yes, there are legitimate grievances against the US. But much or what is perceived as US arrogance is merely the US attempting to retain it's own constitutional structure.
