If you look at the comments of the post - groovy is only that slow if you implement all the algorithm details in groovy !
Gremlin uses blueprints which is written in Java. Gremlin is just a DSL on top of that API so it is just used for the construction of the underlying pipeline. Anyway, easiest way to see if that holds true is to write a PoC for _your_ domain, I think general statements are difficult. But probably Marko has some nice performance benchmarks at hand.
