Perl is Slow?

Why is it that Perl is faster than Java and VB, but he doesn't mention the speed of either one?

Hmmmmm.

Actually, this depends on what you're doing. But since most of us associate Java with GUI apps, and since those GUI apps are *always* dirt slow, it's still a fair assessment IMHO.

See The Great Computer Language Shootout for an idea of where Perl outperforms Java (and vice-versa).
