Although you could argue the .NET CLR is also optimized for long-running applications, because it's directly competing with Java. Why is the CLR so much quicker?
For interests sake, I typed "java -version" on my new MacBook Pro now and it took 0.9 seconds. Second time it took 0.11 seconds. It's still unacceptably slow, in my opinion.
