Actually, it's very conceivable that a Java interpreter could be faster
than a C++ compiler. Keep in mind that C++ is precompiled and usually
provides compatibility all the way down to the 386 processor instruction
level. One the fly compilers, such as we see in a JVM, have the ability
to take into account machine-specific optimizations, such as a higher
processor rev, newer version of the OS, and a whole host of other
possibilities that a pre-compiled program cannot.

Well, at least in theory, the demonstration during the general
assembly
seems to prove that the Java-based engine is faster. Keep in mind that
this
is server side java which has had a great deal of optimization
attention
paid to it.
