Q: 

Interpreter Speeds

I want to do my best on a cool personal project I have in mind, and I need to choose between an interpreter (slow and lightweight in memory) and a virtual machine (faster and heavy).

  • Is true that interpreters are much slower than virtual machines, at a point which it is visible to the user? Somebody have done a comparison?

Thanks!
