[SR-Users] Re: Which KEMI-language has the lowest runtime overhead?

That's a very complicated question. Much depends on the nature of the code you're running! A general principle is that compiled languages are faster to execute than interpreted ones, but it is common to front-load the interpreting process nowadays, i.e. JIT compilation. It's probably fair to say that the JVM has a higher memory footprint than some more economical runtimes, but a lot of that cost is reclaimed in performance. This question touches on a rather expansive and broad theme in computer science and compiler innards. It's not easy to answer at all. -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/
