The current snapshot in ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/swarm/2.0.1-fixes (DLL/jar)
with the jheatbugs in ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/swarm/testing are considerably
faster than the 2.0.1 version.  heatbugs, in particular, suffers from
the lack of a native code compiler as the heatbugs are constantly looking
for preferable heat cells.  When models can be compiled with gcj, I expect
another substantial speedup.  I hear that Kaffe can now load gcj-compiled
Java, transparently, without JNI, but I haven't had time to experiment
with it.  It is probably possible to use proprietary compilers too 
(I think Symantec has one.)

Fine, be that way.  ;-)

But seriously, Apple WebObjects is an excellent Objective C
development environment.  Unfortunately, we're intertwined with the
GNU Objective C runtime, and WebObjects uses a different, incompatible
runtime.  That's another item on the TODO list, but never has made it
to the front of the queue.
