That assumption is unfounded. Java programs still have a moderate
penalty in terms of memory usage, but generally have little or no
penalty in terms of run-time.

If you consider a factor of "1.7" (on the average of certain
benchmarks) to be "little or nothing".

"1.0 C++ GNU g++
1.7 Java 6 -server"

Take for example Jruby, the Java implementation of Ruby.
It is generally *faster* than the C implementation.

Faster than Ruby 1.8.x, which is a pure interpreter.
Ruby 1.9 is about three times as fast.
