dkuntz2 said C++, not C.

But in any case, it's perfectly possible that a platform written in C could produce results faster, because it's not an interpreter but a compiler that translates the application directly to machine code, and which could benefit from optimizations not available ahead-of-time.

It is perfectly possible to write JIT optimizations in C/C++. In fact, HotSpot does just that.
