Java is more than just the Virtual Machine. It is also a language and a set of tools. But lets concentrate on the Virtual Machine (also known as a Runtime). Go back to the days of .exe files. Remember Microsoft's claim that Visual Basic was better than competitor products because of the small size of the executable (.exe file)?

The faulty conclusion reached by many was that VB was more efficient than say Paradox or Delphi. I remember long debates about this and the notation that once a VB program included any kind of data base, the size of its .exe and related .dll files aproached or exceeded a program built with other tools.

But, just like the marketing of sail boats, the most important metric - SPEED - usually got little discussion back then. This week lets look for discussions on how the combination of VMware and the Java Runtime (which I now propose we call the Java VM just so things do not get confusing) work together for Speed.

Think about true threading being the job of the runtime and think about VMwares job being security and load ballancing.

Is this at all helpfull? I would be glad to contribute more discussion if so.
