That is quite a claim.

Even with new java feature, you'll certainly reduce java's 
indirection addiction to some extent, but that won't give you 
control of data layout, which is one of the highest criteria when 
it comes to speed (because you fit more in cache).

Granted, when it come to distributed computing, you have many 
problem to manage (network, node failing, sheduling, ...) and how 
much you can feed to the CPU is one criterion amongst others.

I also concede that making thing in Java and getting them fast 
enough is a much easier job than it is in C++.
