While I can't comment on your particular instance, in general (and this
is on just about nay platform), a compiled language will typically
outperform Java.  As far as the iSeries-AS/400 is concerned, because RPG
and the database are so tightly linked, it is almost impossible to write
business applications in any language that outperform well-written RPG
code.

I can't say whether C++ might somehow outperform RPG, but unless
somebody shows me an example, I'm going to guess that RPG would win.
