The same way as any compiled language, as opposed to an interpreted one,
like PHP. I think it was meant that way.
There is much more than that too. A J2EE webapp is a running application
and can thus do things to improve performance like memoization, caching
and pooling of services/data, which is awkward to do with a cgi language
(even with continuations).
It can also do things behind the scenes to speed stuff up (while no
requests are happening) in a lightweight fashion that you cant really do
with a scripted language without ugly OS-dependent hacks like cron-jobs
(like say running a log vacuum).
Also I think the greatest benefit you will find to using Java is the
staggering number of libraries available to do just about anything in a
few simple steps (example: JavaMail is much more robust and powerful
than say, php's mail() function).
