Performance
Java code compiled into machine code by GCJ should have faster start-up time than the equivalent bytecode launched in a JVM.
However, after start-up, Java code compiled by GCJ does not necessarily execute any faster than bytecode executed by a modern JIT-enabled JVM. This is true even when GCJ is invoked with advanced optimization options such as -fno-bounds-check -O3 -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -ffast-math -march=native; in this case, the compiled program may or may not surpass JVM performance, depending on the operations performed by the code in question.

Famous quotes containing the word performance:
“True balance requires assigning realistic performance expectations to each of our roles. True balance requires us to acknowledge that our performance in some areas is more important than in others. True balance demands that we determine what accomplishments give us honest satisfaction as well as what failures cause us intolerable grief.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“No performance is worth loss of geniality. ‘Tis a cruel price we pay for certain fancy goods called fine arts and philosophy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Tennis is more than just a sport. It’s an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti. Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! It’s the crisis of my life.”
—Bill Tilden (1893–1953)
