this however is no longer really true. The Java apps I have used were slow to launch but behaved just like any other C/C++ program once running. The old argument about java's speed are as valid as the old arguments against writing C++ code on Unix. Time and software have changed and the hardware has also caught up.

They are probably doing what gjc (gnu java compiler) does. Compilling byte-compilled
files to native executables and then running them. That's practically the same thing as
compilling c++, but slightly less optimized. On the other hand if they run the bytecode
directly that would be much slower.
