Comment on Performance of modern Java on data-heavy workloadsparent

Comments

I believe Java (OpenJDK at least) is slow to start even if you disable the JIT and go with pure interpretation, and even if you disable runtime bytecode verification. It's just generally heavyweight and slow to get off the ground.

I imagine JIT compilation should help with this, as you suggest.

Oops, too late to edit, but I meant ahead-of-time compilation should help with this
