Sorry but it's not an "interpreted language", not by a stretch ... it uses a JIT compiler, once a piece of code (class or method) has been JIT-compiled it essentially runs almost at C/C++ speed (well, with still some runtime overhead in the form of garbage collection and all that).

I know that. I am just comparing it's speed with an interpreted language
Right, well then you know it's not in the same league :)
