Why Java codes take more run time than C/C++ ?

[Ganon11]

Java runs itself on the Java Virtual Machine, which is a simulation of a processor. So essentially, a Java program must run on the JVM, which in turn must run on your computers processor, and communication must occur between the two.

In C/C++, your code is compiled specifically to run on that processor. It runs on that processor with no 'middle-man' between the two.

Well, languages that use interpreters tend to be slower than languages that use compilers....
