My general opinion on the subject:

Java/.NET provide good facilities for rapid development. In general
use, some of these might even be more performant than their standard
C++ counterparts. The difference is: with C++ you can really optimize
the hell out of something if you need to, while with Java it is out of
your hands. Just try implementing page-aligned I/O buffers or a
lock-free arena allocator in Java!

So even if Java's implementation is more efficient than libcurl right
now, we can always do better in the end.
