Java is *much* slower than c++ in every aspect. The only
difference now-a-days is for most applications it doesn't
matter; you don't program in java for speed.

Especially 3-d stuff, as Java doesn't really have an API for it, and doesn't tie in to OpenGL or Direct3D. But for things such as web-services or servers, Java works just fine.
