I understand that C++ is generally considered better than Java for games (at least larger-scale games). Why is this?

What is keeping Java from being competitive in this field? Which reasons against using Java for game programming have the most basis, and which ones are myths?

EDIT: Am a bit unfamiliar with C/C++, and did not think to differentiate between the two at line 1 >.<

If Java can nevre write a device driver like C, how can you Imagine that it would be faster than the language that the driver is already written in ?
