An application level filter in Java is always going to be slower than a native in-database solution.

A significant part of the time to perform the filter is creating the JTS Geometry objects. Using Well Known Binary (WKB) instead of Well Known Text (WKT) is definitely faster, but there is a serious catch with MySQL. There is a killer bug in the server that the development team refuse to fix. It declares the return from the AsBinary() function as String, so modern versions of Connector/J perform string translation on it and corrupt the result. The 3.0 releases of Connector/J work fine because they do not apply string translation.
