Converting GCC to C++
C++ is sometimes faster to write. Our most expensive limitation is not the CPU. Remember that G++ is a full compiler, not something that outputs C. It has the opportunity to generate some code that you couldn't specify exactly the same way in C. Also, it might write faster code for some operations than your usual hand-coded alternative in C.
