i'm not so sure about that.
a few months ago i was working on a project that involves amazon ec2 and s3. amazon gives you a bunch of command-line utilities, written in java, to perform various stuff. every one of them takes a second or two to start up, which really annoyed the heck out of me. that certainly wouldn't have happened if they were written in c++.

But granted, for the case of small apps performing short lived tasks, JVM startup adds a relatively large amount of overhead, which can be annoying.
