So you're telling me that there has never been, and never will be a computer
chess program written in C that was faster than the equivalent assembly version,
and that there has never been, and never will be a computer chess program
written in C++ that was faster than the equivalent C program?

If that's what you're telling me, then you're wrong. It happens. Optimizing
compilers make it so.
