The fact that you believe Java never compiles code loops into the machine language of the platform it is running on shows why people think Java is "slow."

Java compiles the code loops and functions at run-time if they are used frequently so your basically running compiled code like any other language, with a bit more overhead for Java's nicer features.

You should benchmark PSP sometime and compare the performance to mod_perl or mod_python. Hell compare it to a module written in C.

In fact instead of talking about how Java is slow you should check out how much progress it has made in the past few years. Maybe even about how it can outperform GCC...

Seriously, if your still talking about how slow Java is you need to wake up... and smell the coffee :-)
