Java doesn't have access to native API's such as DirectX or OpenGL.
It can use JNI to call native methods.

Java can never beat c for speed; its guaranteed.
Hehe. I wouldn't say never. Its possible someone might one day design a machine optimized for Java. Or Java might be compiled to native code and the OS manages the memory for it.

Java is *much* slower than c++ in every aspect.
For console and server-side stuff, Java doesn't really lack behind C/C++ much. But when it comes to Swing/3D stuff, my experience is that Java isn't as responsive.
