My client is interested in Java for its cross-platform strengths.  I think
that modern machines are fast enough to encrypt the amount of data involved
even running interpreted Java (assuming something like 3DES).  JITs will
only help.  I see no need for assembly level coding for my client's
application.

(I certainly do see a need for assembly code in the DES crack attempt.)
