It depends so much on what you're doing with Groovy.
Try Groovy with a small prototype of what you want to do with it,
benchmark it, also benchmark it against other tools / languages you'd
want to use, and see the results for yourself.
Inside a web application, you'll probably wait longer for the records
to come back from the database, than for the execution times of your
Groovy code.
Micro-benchmarks such as the one you pointed isn't really relevant to
99% of the use cases you'd want to use Groovy for.
So if you're solely basing your choice on a randomly found blog post,
I'm not sure you'll ever find the right choice for your own scenario
of usage.
Nonetheless, improving the performance is a key concern of ours, and
it's definitely something we're currently working on, to make sure
Groovy is the fastest dynamic language on the JVM.
