I'm betting that the actual KeyedFile read doesn't take nearly as much time
as the open of the file.  Using RLA, you're going to find a lot of overhead
associated with opening a file.  If you start your application by opening
all your files, then you'll find your access is considerably faster.  RPG is
highly optimized to allow fast opening of files; these optimizations aren't
available for Java code.

As to reading a large block of data (many records) your overhead there will
be in communications and EBCDIC-ASCII conversion.  I think you'll find RLA
performance closer to that of a program call in that case.

Finally, I'd suggest getting the latest version of JTOpen.  Each release
tries to enhance performance a little bit.
