VB vs JAVA

hi guys........

i'm working on a brute force program which as u all must be knowing uses massive recursion(without multithreading, lots of painting etc) . i thought that because of the very architechture of java, it might take longer than any native windows programming language and so also developed it in VB. BUT to my sheer surprise i see that to create all possible combinations of 10 letters, java takes 33 secs while VB takes 150 secs(approx). i suppose generating windows executable on the fly should obviously take longer. any ideas how this is vice versa?

also , how much time shld a decent brute force algorithm take to create a unique combination of 10 letters (where a letter doesn't repeat itself again in that word).

Thanks in advance
