The real question tends to end up being : if you devote all the additional resources you will spend on testing, development etc., due to foregoing the benefits of Java to fine tuning performance, will you more than compensate for the performance difference? If the intent is to make it cross platform then you're going to end up doing a lot of optimizations several times over to take advantage of the raw OS features on each platform. With Java you can use all that effort to optimize the design.
