Look, imagine your $doomedProject.  There is no reason that the tools
they are using to build the Java code couldn't be generating C++ code.
And if they were generating C++ code, what do you think the chances are
that it wouldn't grind to a halt almost as quickly, based on what you've
said about it? 

I don't believe that there is any good reason for Java code to be more
than an order of magnitude slower that C++.
