Crypto operations.

GCJ mops the floor with HotSpot when it comes to crypto.

I just finished off a lightweight SSL client implementation (43k
zipped bytecode + 83k of bouncycastle.org's crypto library, includes
embedded copies of public keys for all IE5.5-trusted root CA's).

Hotspot takes over 10 seconds to handshake, GCJ does it well under a
second. And that's not even using "-O".
