Any guesses why in the ranking of last Google AI Challenge, the first Java code is at 92th place?

From http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/contest/starter_packages.php:

"Java

"Download the Java starter package.... [...] Note: The JVM interacts badly with the sandbox we use to run submissions, causing frequent timeouts. You are advised to choose a different language."
