c vs. java vs. gcj performance

I see that I can compile with -S
Sorry, I suppose I should have Read The Fine Manual first.

>> I wrote it in java and c. The c code (compiled with gcc) is 8 times
> faster than the java code (under Sun jvm 1.4.1_02).
>> I also compiled the java code with gcj. The java code with gcj is approx

>> What tool do I use to dump the machine code so that I can compare the

>> I'll report any findings.
>>> Gracias,
