The JVM is nearly as fast as hand optimised C, this is not intended to be that fast, rather a simple bedrock to build further optimisations into. Immutable everything also will limit performance as will the focus on latency at the cost of everything else. Not sure of actual performance compared to JVM though, I wonder if it’s as far away as I expect…
