    I just listened to a conference talk by by a guy making software for running stock-exchange markets. He said they have tried everything low-latency and are now on running plain vanilla java on modified linux operating systems. I.e. in order to improve latencies and speed of java, use the same version as everyone else and tweak the operating system so it spends more of the time running your code.
