Is this Edge? I can confirm poor performance in Edge, but every other browse I've looked at seems to be ok.
That's Firefox on arch linux
Interesting... will have a deeper look into it, if you have any idea on how to make it better you are welcome
I actually work on low latency Java backends, I have no idea how this works ;)

The think that myth is coming from the fact that JVM is heavy (150MB?), so it takes time to start, and hot-spot needs some iterations on a source code before it can fully apply JIT, but other that that, Java is really good.
