Not sure of that. Some scientists from CERN would certainly disagree... Pure array-based arithmetic in Java is pretty damn fast, especially if you care to avoid dynamic allocations. It can be also very memory/cache friendly.

I was under the impression CERN was a C++ shop, have they switched over to Java?

They do have quite a few projects in Java and they published some of their Java scientific libraries as open source. See Colt project. Also the software processing data from LHC is at least partially Java based.
