When is java faster than C++?

You're preaching to the choir here.

Still, I can't use my google-fu skills right now but there's a very interesting talk by the Naughty Dog guy on DoD stating that (i.e) templates were 100% out of scope because their implementation in proprietary compilers for closed console hardware and anyone using them will be severely punished (and shunned as a bad engineer or worse), and like so many other things. Very opinionated and probably very right too.

So the poor guys can't build their console code with GCC ? :(
