Agreed. If you choose C over C++ merely because C++ is "slow", "bloated", or "inefficient" then don't complain any further until you've rewritten all your applications in assembly language! Then we'll talk about efficient code.
Now, if you choose C over C++ because you're more comfortable, familiar, or experienced at it, then fine, but don't start making unsubstantiated generalizations about how C++ is slow, bloated, inefficient, etc. C++ isn't nearly as bloated or slow as it might have been a number of years ago. And, the Gold linker may improve this even further.

Ah, the last refuge of the erroneous. Sorry, the onus is on *you*: you're the one making the exaggerated claims.
