Is it that slow, really? The big problem with java apps is the slow startup time of the JVM, and the inability to really share JVMs across processes. Oh, and programmers who don't understand not to stick compute tasks in the same thread as the GUI update thread. I've had good luck with some moderately long-running apps, though.
