In my experience Java makes a poor C++ (or C) emulator.  The "convert C++ to 
Java" might make an "OK" first pass but in the end you're going to want to 
recode critical sections in original Java.  I've found that the really big 
performance improvements are in using smarter algorithms in Java vs. some of 
the 'brute force' approaches that work in C.
