How fast is Jython?
The startup time and runtime performance for Jython are largely determined by the JVM. Current status is that CPython 2.3 on Windows2000 is about twice as fast as Jython 2.1 on JDK1.4 on Windows2000. However, because of Java’s slow startup time, Jython starts much more slowly (2.4 s) than CPython (80 ms). This means you don’t want to do standard CGI in Jython, but long-running processes are fine.
