Hmmm, did you try it on the test-program that I included? Which version of
the IBM VM did you use?

When I tried IBM's 1.2.2 VM it took almost 30% longer to complete the tests
than with the Symantec VM. Sun's 1.3 VM (don't know if it's HotSpot or not)
takes 60% longer.

I think a lot depends on being lucky that a particular VM has optimized
interpreting the kind of statements a program predominantly uses.
