The amount of time needed to load a jvm and run the smallest possible java 
program* is about half a second**:

boud@selday:~$ time java Hello

real    0m0.048s
user    0m0.025s
sys     0m0.007s


* public class Hello {
    public static void main(String[]args) {}
  }

** on a 2ghz laptop, where Java had run before and so was in Linux' memory 
buffers, I have to admit that.
