Excellent point.

Clearly C++ is faster than Java.

Servlets have the advantage at least, of sharing
a single java virtual machine, so there are few
(if any) startup costs per transaction.

(Although I feel very nervous standing here
and defending Java. We're just starting out with
servlets, and have yet to gain any solid experience
yet.)
