Now everyone will tell you that you can use ByteBuffer or sun.misc.Unsafe to keep memory off-heap and hence out of sight of the GC. BUT what that means is that you have create your own custom implementations of the data structures you need and you'll have to write your own memory allocator. Unless that memory area holds just a simple data BLOB (like a video file) you're always going to be much more productive implementing the entire thing in C++.
