I disagree. Java is still unacceptably slow, both on the client and server. We abandoned java soon after porting just a few simple applications from C. A program compiled in C that put unappreciable load and completed in minutes on an 8CPU HP9000/T600 brought the machine to 100% utilization for hours when ported to java. IMHO Java is not yet a good thing.
