Generally slower, in my subjective experience. Although with stuff like
eclipse, not that much slower, in most circumstances.

There are a range of other options for "free java" virtual machines
(however, they are all incomplete). Cacao looks promising but it's still a
bit flaky. Not ready for production use yet.

Absolutely not!

It is not finished yet. It is compatible with less than half of Java apps
and applets. However, it is progressing in leaps and bounds,
and could always use more volunteers.
