Your comparaison is biased because your "Hello World" program is too
simple so too short in execution time.
Java application must init all the java stuff before displaying your
string. It's a fact that Java has an overhead at start, but after with
jit, difference vs C/C++ is about half performance (but it depend, java
can have same performance or sometime 3 ou 4th time worst)
