Well, this may be subjective.  What may seem like travesty to one may  
appear completely normal to someone else.

I'm curious though. If you have the time, could you point out in the  
code in my public project or in my earlier public library where my  
highly optimized Java code seems like a travesty to you. Personally I  
can't think of any, especially when compared to C, but as I said that  
may be highly subjective.

Then again, I almost purely focus on algorithmic optimizations. Most  
other optimizations are temporary. They either become obsolete or the  
compiler does them for you after a while. So in the long run I think  
those optmizations are a waste of time. Which does not mean I'd not  
revert to them from time to time if I think it's important enough in  
the short term (like making a program playing fast enough to meet a  
certain time-constraint.)
