No they are a real issue, and that is why Oracle is pouring millions into improving the JVM in this area.

Oracle is not a company that gives money away for free.

Fintech is one of the areas that is slowly moving from C++ into Java and doesn't do it faster because they cannot move all the kind of code they have into Java, hence Oracle efforts.

Or why we are starting to see languages like Pony and Chapel pop up.
