No, it isn't.

The Java application, from the OS perspective, comprises the JVM and everything it runs.

The application doesn't exist outside the context of the JVM, so such considerations matter.

Even more important, the OP wants to know if multiple CPUs will help performance of a 
Java app if it's multithreaded. Since the app runs in a multi-threaded context, if multiple 
CPUs would speed up a multi-threaded app, they'd help *any* Java app.  I made this point 
upthread; I guess you decided to ignore it in order to snark, huh?

Let's try to stay focused on the OP's concern here, shall we?
