Andi,

I think these numbers could still easily be dominated by class loading. 
  Java classes are loaded on demand, and there are many classes which 
are probably loaded after the IndexFiles demo records the start time. 
I'd guess that there is no class loading with gcj.  It would be better 
to use a benchmark that takes at least 10-20 seconds.  For example, try 
using IndexFiles or IndexHTML on the JDK documentation.

Cheers,

Doug
