Is Java slow running on old hardware?
Hi,
I would like to know whether is java too slow running on old hardware like 800mhz processors, based on real experience?
Also if any one can post articles regarding this topic, it'll be so useful.
Thanks

There was a lot of very good software written in Java on machines just like that - when 800 MHz was a very fast processor, and a 256 MB of memory was a horn of plenty.
If you are looking for a program which is heavy on data manipulation and flashy GUI elements, it will seem slow. If you are looking for a program which will perform basic data storage and retrieval and string manipulation, then you'll be ok.

I am using java at Central Michigan University to do robotics calculations. I wrote an application that takes in GPS data every 1.5 seconds, does trig calculations on it, then steers a vehicle in the appropriate direction.
It has a non-flashy gui and works great on our 1000mhz laptop with 128mb of ram. Although it takes NetBeans forever to start on it.
Hope that helps.
