Java is coming soon !
have a look to Jan site, he posted this on this list
a month ago:  <http://www.quartam.com/downloads/rmj.zip>

I've never made those kind of benchmarks.
But, I did check stressfull communication between Perl and Revolution.

For instance, I've made some animation where all the calculation are  
made in Perl, and
list of hundreds points were passed to and from Perl every 5 ms;  
everything was moving
smoothly and the most consuming task was the redraw of the graphic on  
screen,
which you have to deal with anyway, even only with revTalk.

So, what I can say today is I never had any problems concerning  
interaction speed.

The architecture has been made for this.

And, I'm waiting desperately for the new external API which will make  
the next
version of rev2perl much much more powerful.....

Thanks :-)
