As for the other programming environments (Java, etc) - I have no idea.

Quick rundown-
PBForth is interpreted, so while it would not be quite as fast as legOS, it may
yet be faster than the standard firmware.

Is a note I posted a while back on pbForth speed. It really is very fast - not
as quick as legOS, but fast enough for what we're doing.

In fact, NQC and native firmware is fast enough - we just don't have enough
variables....

As a point of interest, I think that the Saturn V attitude adjustment
on the rocket bells is 20 times a second.

(...) This is correct. (...) Hehe :) Yes, this is correct. LegOS is also faster for some other reasons- it samples the sensors at a much faster rate than the standard firmware, so legOS programs can react much more quickly than standard bytecode (...) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
