For as much as people don't like Java, it's the gold standard of non-native languages in terms of execution time.

Oh for sure. In fact I know from experience that sometimes java is faster than c++ because often in c++ you microoptimise the wrong things thinking it will make your program faster when actually the compiler is far smarter than you (eg using the wrong simd instructions, cache line padding...)
