We can discuss this is again N+1 times, but the fact is that Java is slower compared to C++. ALMOST as fast donīt mean AS fast or did I miss anything... yes in some cases Java might be faster but the average speed is slower.
You can discuss this with my Prof.

Java's VM is not an interpreter. The code is really compiled and repeated tasks don't require repeated compiling.

Yes the code is compiled. But Java donīt know which OS you are using - the VM is translating the parts which are needed by your OS.
Java is slower than C++, and nothing what you tell can change this.
