note 35697 added to faq.languages

Java is not interpreted when run in most modern virtual machines. It is 'just-in-time compiled', that is the bytecode is translated to native machine code prior to the first execution. Other implementations exist that translate the bytecode to machine code in advance (although I don't believe such a system would work well with JSP as you would find it hard to add / remove pages...). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.languages.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35697 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35697&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35697&report=yes
