Why not Q5 in Java?

This is far from insanely slow, it's just showing decent performance, I tried it out myself.

Microsoft even wants to replace DirectX with a managed environment.

I think that you are mischaracterizing Microsoft's intentions with respect to DirectX and .NET. MDX and XNA do not replace DirectX--they are essentially wrappers for it. Those wrappers are not at least currently intended to replace the development of applications with C++.
