Thanks Andreas, 

I am switching from python/perl so my java is not great but with the implementation you mention I would need to pass the sequence each time and run it one by one? SSEARCH is also 'slow' (SW) but has a lot of optimization in place so at the end it does not take that long to run it. It's in C++ though.

We do have a Smith Waterman implementation in Biojava. However the algorithm is based on dynamic programming, which by definition is "slow" but gives you the optimal alignment...
