| Bryan,
| Very interesting stuff.  Do you have numbers for Java 1.3.x - just

I've heard that Reflection in Java is many times faster in 1.4 than
any earlier version.  On the Jython list a while back someone posted
PyStone results showing jython on jdk 1.4 (beta something or other)
beat out cpython by a clear margin.
