There was a comment about these microbenchmarks saying: ''However the test is probably biased against C++ since it creates "dynamic objects" even if C++ can create stack objects while Java can't. Heap allocation is slow in C++ since its a general mechanism that should be used only if really needed.''. I rewrote it a little to make it more neutral (the ''probably'' was not sourced based, so I changed by ''may be''), and I put a ''fact'' tag, because when looking at the article in question, I saw nowhere if the author used heap or stack for initial memory allocation of the Objects. Plus Objects defined by STL are allocated on the stack, even if the memory itself can be allocated on the heap.

:I took that out, because generally ''we'' shouldn't argue against citations in Wikipedia's voice. If ''someone else'' criticized the benchmarks for that reason, we can say so and attribute the criticism to them. In general though this section is fairly bad; it seems to consist mostly of poor benchmarks run by random people on the internet rather than peer-reviewed papers. --[[User:Delirium|Delirium]] ([[User talk:Delirium|talk]]) 19:37, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
