Re: [Jython-users] How good is Jython?

[John M. <joh...@ya...>]

I actually have a more serious doubt about CPython than Jython.  The
CPython threading approach does not take full advantage of multiple
processors as does Jython (and Java).  I fully expect this to be
corrected in the future but so long as we're looking at each other
through keyholes...

That reminds me... I want to examine JPE more closely.  I do struggle
with the choice pf CPython and Jython.  I long for one solution.  If
the threading is redone in CPython and JPE lives up to my fantasy then
it might be a Jython killer?  There's probably a long list of reasons
that that will not happen.

Oh, I just saw a briefing on Java 1.4.  The reflection speed is
supposed to be several times faster.  That might be a big help to
Jython peformance.
