It is faster than it used to be, but for some codes C/C++ will still
run circles around it and bind external implementations into Java is
non-trivial. On the latest, greatest JVMs and compilers it is slowly
converging on pure Objective-C levels of performance, which is
perfectly adequate for most purposes.
