Generally C++ is compiled to native code while java is compiled to byte code and then is interpreted at runtime. Therefore C++ code should theoretically run fater.
But due to automatic memory management and other good features java development is much easier and faster. The big question is do you really ned some extraordinal performance requirements here? If not, implement everything in java. If you do have such requirements think about other options.
And BTW, why SAX? It is the hardest (and really fastest) whay to parse XML. Did you problably think about easier ways like JAXB? It requires 1% of efforts (relatively to SAX).
