Presentation: Designing for Performance in Java
The Java platform is capable of high performance. In spite of this,
performance remains the number one complaint with Java developers. Many
developers contend that Java will never be able to achieve high
performance due to the inherent limitations posed by a virtual machine
and a garbage collected memory management system. But is there a hard
limitation
on performance in Java? How can Java applications be designed for maximum
performance?
