As we all rush headlong into JavaOne prep someone (okay it was James Gosling) sent me an email about performance of JavaFX. Speed is a crucial issue for anything dealing with user interfaces, so we care deeply about performance in our work with JavaFX. On the other hand we are focusing on bug fixes and correctness right now, not optimization, so it's not as fast as it could be.

Interesting although not surprising given they are comparing a threaded language (java) with a non threaded language (flex) using a threaded benchmark.
Moral of the story? Don't use flex for threaded applications.

Who cares about speed if it is hard to deploy applets and WebStart for end users. Just compare # of end users that have Flash installed.
Comparing Java to Flex and SilverLight is comparing Java to SQL: that is not what it gets used for.
Instead compare Java to D, QT, Mono and Lazarus (OO Pascal) for cross platform languages that end users/network admins install w/ an install(ex: setup.exe) applications.
