C++ vs Java for Gaming

807569Jul 27 2006 — edited Jul 28 2006

I have looked at the Online Casino/Gaming downloadable games, and most seem to be have written in C++ / MFC.
Is this because of:
- Download speed: Is this because of the smaller size of application for downloading (about 5 MB), compared to 20+ MB for a similar Java application.
- Speed of execution: I know that Java is certainly catching up in terms of speed.

Anything else?

Thanks
