Way to waste at least 20% of the CPU power, lazy programmers. I'll take my CPUs to something that actually uses them efficiently like Folding@home which is optimised as opposed to interpreted or even compiled java bytecode being pushed like molasis through a straw.
Java is often used for scientific computing because of its performance—not in spite of it. Modern REs can even out-perform natively compiled code thanks to runtime optimizations. You probably think Java is slow because of one lousy UI toolkit (called Swing), which hardly anyone uses. In other words, find another trope.
How is Java at producing code SIMD code, or code that runs on GPUs? Java can outperform poorly written C code, which does form the bulk of scientific code bases. Outperforming well optimized processor specific code? Not really.
