Most of the slowness people usually associate with Java is in the JVM startup time. Once it's been started, even on a slow machine like a P2, Java will fly along nicely.
Larger apps written in Java are still more memory-hungry than their C++ equivalents, so you shouldn't try running these sort of things on older machines with less than 128Megs or so, but I wouldn't expect larger C++ apps to run very well on machines with such limited memory either.
