>>I would hardly classify 7x slower as "quite great"<< When half of that difference comes from running GC on a separate core, and we know that GC has not been tuned - perhaps we should call that particular difference accidental ;-)

Single core result Java still 3x faster than C#: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64/benchmark.php?test=all...

Yes, and now look at the second half of my comment -- "and we know that GC has not been tuned" :-)

Start off with a different initial and maximum heap size (or a different GC option!) and the results may be different.
