Abstract
Interpreted languages have become increasingly popular due to the demand for ease of use, portability and safety. This paper examines the interpreter performance and the causes from both hardware and software perspectives. Our analysis shows that an interpreter's performance is related to the complexity of the interpreter's virtual machine and runtime libraries, and is relatively independent of the application being interpreted.
