Strange Performance Tests

The Boehm gc is definitely slower (for Java) than the HotSpot garbage 
collector.
In general, it is hard for a conservative, multi-language collector to 
compete with a precise, single-language collector. That said, I am sure 
there is "opportunity" for enhancing the Boehm gc to work more 
efficiently for Java.
