Subject: C++ slow?

Author: Sven Reichard

Date: 12:07:33 07/02/99

In a recent thread it was stated that current Basic compilers produce code that
is "slightly faster than C (and a lot faster than C++)".
Could someone point out to me why C++ per se is slow? I had programmed in C for
a while before learning C++, and I didn't detect any significant differences in
performance. However, with C++ I spent more time designing and less time
debugging (which makes it preferable to me :) ).
I recently started implementing a generic engine for two person zero sum games
(in C++). I would like to know if it is worth the effort, or if the language
slows it down too much.

Thanks,
Sven.
