Interesting article. I'll need to explore it further. However, it's 
three years out of date, and performance info rarely lasts that long. 
One of his VMs was Kaffe, hardly a speed demon now, much less two 
years ago. I also note that his test used very easily serializable 
data (arrays of integers). It was certainly not nearly as complex a 
mesh of interlocking pointers as a typical XOM Document object.
