Huh? People don't have to put in that effort because there are companies who have invested crazy amounts of man hours and time and money into engineering the JVM to be what it is today. Java is only as fast as it is because there are people who've put in that effort. Java's reputation for being slow isn't unwarranted - it just isn't true anymore.
