You wouldn't understand how much of a difference there is between Java and purely compiled languages unless you are a developer, so I'll sum it up for you:
Java makes you a bubble boy. You assume you are COMPLETELY unaware of the environment you run in, you assume you have as MUCH MEMORY AS YOU NEED, and memory management is AUTOMATED. There is ridiculous amounts of overhead because of that and the bloated system libraries. With C/C++, you'd spend a fraction of the time with very little overhead, you taking care of memory management so you don't freeze the damn phone during garbage collection, and you're fully aware of any resources you do or don't have.
