I know Walter hates it when people mention the word but: benchmarks.

As soon as someone say things like "it probably struggles to keep up
with mono" further discussion of the topic is probably not worth
entertaining without getting some agreed codes and running them all on
the same machine.

I agree the standard Go compiler generates not well optimized code, but
gccgo generally does, and generally performs at C-level speeds. Of
course Java often performs far better than that, and often fails to.
You have to be careful with benchmarking and performance things
generally.
