doesnt matter,the jvm takes a lot of resources which is problematic is some situations.raw speed is nothing without the memory footprint or AAA games would be written in java.they are not for a good reason:lack of direct memoy management.
I am not saying one should use it or not, or how it is strictly better than something else, just saying I can easily see _in theory_ how a jit compiler written in C can be faster than plain C.
