Codename One's ParparVM matches HotSpot performance after deep optimizations

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Codename One optimized its ParparVM AOT compiler to achieve geometric mean performance parity with Java 25's HotSpot across ten benchmarks, with six benchmarks at or below HotSpot. The improvements include a new page-based heap, code generation enhancements, and manual C tuning. The VM now matches HotSpot's speed while maintaining bit-identical output.

Meridian48 take
The achievement is impressive, but the benchmarks are synthetic and may not reflect real-world app performance; client-side VMs still face different tradeoffs.
