Now do you understand that when you wrote "C is still faster by an
order of magnitude" it had nothing to do with Java and had everything
to do with your "bogus" program.

In other words - Charles O Nutter was right, and you were wrong.

Depending on the machine hardware, we should expect a vanilla Java
implementation to take 1.5x - 2.5x longer than C for this problem.
