Python too slow?

Wow, serious... what you've done was really, really cool... :)

I was expect there are nobody willing to do to have python runs Java 
Language (such as PyPy) over CPython. Perhaps your javaclass does not work 
just like as PyPy, but really... it is damned cool to get CPython execute 
java byte-code, congratulations...
