Just for fun, let's see who is the worst.

$ cat >JavaTrue.java
public class JavaTrue {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.exit(0);
    }
}
$ javac JavaTrue.java
$ time java -cp . JavaTrue

real    0m0.071s
user    0m0.037s
sys     0m0.035s

Hmmm. Slow and with a lot of sys...
Let's try compiling it to native.

$ gcj -o JavaTrue JavaTrue.java --main=JavaTrue
$ time ./JavaTrue

real    0m0.026s
user    0m0.016s
sys     0m0.010s

Good improvement, but still quite slow.

(OT: what a pity gcj is abandoned... great project)
