Not really an answer, but here are some thoughts...

All other things being equal, IMHO pure Java is better than Java+native.

Of course all other things are not equal, in particular the speed
question, but Java vs. native speed is very JVM dependent, so that
detracts from the usefulness of using speed as a generic criterion.
