You just missed the last two years of developments on JIT compilers. Java is truly faster than C++ for most data manipulation tasks. I just whish Sun would speed up their implementation of Swing - the GUI toolkit. Too many people think Java is slow because the UI apps are slow, and it is all caused by a poor GUI toolkit (performance-wise).

I do agree but:
1) I do not code in C++ so I can not see differences between the speed of
the two languages;
2) When I code in java, it's often with GUI and it's really slow;
3) When you launch a JVM, it's very slow too;
4) I thought JIT was not always a good think (for small classes if I
remember).
Thank you for your explanations ;)
