I've seen several posts that hint that Groovy runs at Java-like speeds. 
  I haven't found this to be true at all.  You can find one of my (very 
incomplete and probably totally useless) benchmarks here:

Don't get me wrong ... I think Groovy has a lot of promise for those 
living in the JVM world.  However, it is still a very young language and 
has some growing to do.
