Peter,

I'm not sure I follow you. sc isn't a java application. Perhaps you're referring 
to the java version of DFM1, which I wrote as a reference prior to porting to 
(C/C++) SuperCollider, pd and Max.

The sc language is compiled into its own bytecode, transmitted via OSC to a 
server. The ugens provide primitives which the bytecodes reference, ie, all CPU 
intensive operations are handled by native compiled code.

Some details on this in chapter 24 in The SuperCollider Book (the VM opcodes are 
listed on P670).
