Performance of Jython vs other languages/runtimes/vms

Dear Jython developers,

I came across this thread http://blog.dhananjaynene.com/2008/07/performance-comparison-c-java-python-ruby-jython-jruby-groovy/

LanguageVersionLines of CodeTime per iteration (microseconds)
Java Sun JDK 1.6.0.03 10186 1.6
C++ 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease)
(Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)

Ruby ruby 1.9.0 (2008-04-14 revision 16006) [i686-linux] 63 114 89

jruby : ruby 1.8.6 (2008-05-28 rev 6586) [i386-jruby1.1.2] 84 80
Python 2.5.1 41 225 192
Jython 2.2.1 on JRE 1.6.0.03 884 632
Groovy Groovy Version: 1.5.6 JVM: 1.6.0_03-b05 uncompiled 81 363

UpdateGroovy Version: 1.6-beta-1 JVM: 1.6.0_03 104
PHP PHP 5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3 (cli) 85 593


I understand that numbers given above pertain to a type of test/code and may not be true for certain areas but still I was wondering if the new release (Jython2.5a+) has improved in the area of performance in general.

Regards & thanks
Kapil

This "benchmark" is pretty pointless.  He claims that its important to 
"compare apples to apples" but writing loops in python like
> for i in range(size)
is simply not a good way to write things in python.  In APL you could 
calculate the determinant of a matrix with a single operator.  So should 
you benchmark it with  "for i=0 to N, for j= 0 to M: lots of code to 
calculate determinant." or use the idiom the language supports?

All that said, performance comparisons between jython 2.2 and 2.5 and 
cpython are interesting to know, and I'm sure there'll be various 
comparisons at various more well thought out blogs as time goes on.

Re: Performance of Jython vs other languages/runtimes/vms

Hello,
there is a comparison (response time) between Jython and execution of 
python script with Runtime.exec() ???
