Java does have a security manager system, which is used by applets
- you could certainly prevent use of the IO stuff that way.

I think Java byte order is the same on all systems; .class files /certainly/
have the same byte order and I don't think they get swapped round in memory.

My own experience is that it can be up to about 20 times slower than C
without a JIT. /With/ a good JIT (like the one in IE 4) it can get to maybe
80% of native code speed.

Java security can fix this, I think :)
