There is a lot of different JVM implementations with different speed, so 
it's difficult to answer.

NekoVM is a dynamicly typed VM so currently its performances are still 
far from best JVM using JIT. However it is a lot better than most web 
language interpreters such as PHP/Perl. And I'm not talking about 
ActionScript2... I think it should be around AVM2 speed, but it will 
improve when JIT and a new GC will be added.

You might want to try your own benchmarks to get an idea.
