Most probably memory usage will be reduced using c++ and this will allow run in cheaper hardware. When nutch is network IO bound will depend of your network connection and storage hardware. You could move the bottleneck to other place by getting a faster network and faster storage hardware.
In any case i don't think this is worth do it.
