Properly done, bytecode doesn't have to be much slower than
native code.  A few years ago, I coded up bubble, insertion, and
shell sorts in C++ and Java.  The design and coding was done with
an emphasis of making an equitable comparison.  In all three
cases, Java was ~20% faster than unoptimized (no -O option) C++.
Optimized (-O option) C++ was 1.25-2.3X faster than Java.
