Java quicker than C++

Ok everyone thinks java is a slow bastar**. But how do you explain this:

didi@alpha ~/speedTest $ time java SpeedTest

Finisched with 2000000000 loops
real    0m16.606s
user    0m16.233s
sys     0m0.264s

didi@alpha ~/speedTest $ time ./speed
Finisched with 2000000000 loops
real    2m7.950s
user    2m6.292s
sys     0m0.180s

Here are the programms:

The c++ one

 1: 
 2: #include iostream
 3: 
 4: class MathObject {
 5:  public:
 6:   MathObject(){}
 7: };
 8: 
 9: int main()
10: {
11:  for(int i=0; i < 2000000000 ;++i){
12:   MathObject *mathObject = new MathObject();
13:   delete mathObject;
14:  }
15: 
16:  std::cout << "Finisched with 2000000000 loops" << std::endl;
17:  return 0;
18: } 

The Jave one

 1: public class MathObject
 2: {
 3:  public MathObject(){}
 4: }
 5: 
 6: public class SpeedTest
 7: {
 8:  public static void main(String[] args)
 9:  {
10:   for(int i=0; i < 2000000000 ;++i){
11:    MathObject mathObject = new MathObject();
12:    mathObject = null;
13:   }
14:   System.out.println("Finisched with 2000000000 loops");
15:  }
16: } 

I assume, this is because the java jvm can only change a pointer for the new Obj but c++ has to scan through the heep to find a new memory address and becomes so much slower through doing so. So java is faster at some stuff.
