Java is 40-50 times slower than C/C++.
So it takes 40-50 times longer to write the same software in Java that it does in C++? You may think you are a proficient Java programmer, but if it takes you that long to write code - trust me - you aren't. Even if you were talking about execution speed (in which case you should have read my email more carefully), looking at benchmarks (see http://web.informatik.uni-bonn.de/II/ag-klein/people/zach/benchmarks/java-vs-c++.html) even Java's worst performance is just 10 times slower than optimised C++, and in a networked application like Freenet where most time is spent waiting on network generated events, this really isn't very relevant anyway.
