BeanShell, Rhino and Java -- A Performance Comparison
Obsessing about micro benchmarks may not be a very good software development strategy, but I like to write small programs that tell me about relative cost of doing the same thing in different ways very insightful. It is also a good way to motivate myself learn about new technologies -- afterall, what would be a better way to learn than by doing analogies and comparisons.
So, now that I am evaluating the suitability of my old and trusted BeanShell for future experimentatal projects (more about it in a future post), it was only natural to do some benchmarking. And that is what I did. I wrote Bubble Sort programs in BeanShell, JavaScript(Rhino) and Java, and ran them under different environments and documented the results.

Well, the source code is available. If you can write a Jython equivalent and send that to me then I will run it on the same h/w and report the numbers.
I must confess that I have never used Juthon and my Python skills are bit rusty.

May be you can also try groovy : http://groovy.codehaus.org/
