You are converting to Java for performance?  I haven't heard that one
before.  Why not try CPython first?  I have heard that CPython is ~2-3
times faster than Jython.

Also, why not convert the Python code to C++ or C if you really want
performance?  Well-written C or C++ is lots faster than equally
well-written Java.  (This isn't to say that you can't make poorly
written C that is slower than well written Java)
