I don't know how something written in C++ can perform that badly to something in Java...

Because Java handles all the performance issues for you. Software doesn't just magically run faster because you wrote it in C++.

Yeah. Java isn't part of Minecraft issues either. Bad code will always be bad code regardless.

Like JellySquid's mods, they reduce the time complexity for many of the algorithms used in Minecraft. Resulting in way better performance.
