Java is *much* slower than c++ in every aspect.

It seems that Java uses a garbage collector by default. If so, then Java offers one *huge* advantage over C++: much less bugs/memory leaks.
Error coding in C++ is tedious, and needs to be done manually on every level.
And in this light, no wonder Java is often (can't believe "always") slower then C++. The house cleaning of Java (garbage collector) consumes some time.
I also hear Java is getting faster and faster. I am not saying that Java will be the big winner in the future, as computers become faster and faster, but I won't be surprised if Java beats C++ in usability someday.
So for the moment one could say: Java has superiour house cleaning, but no system programming (yet).
I wonder, am I still on crack?
