   The question was whether you needed to write the whole thing in C or   
   C++ to get the best performance. You do not.   
      
   Typically, code performance follows a sort of 90/10 rule: 90% of the   
   time will be spent in 10% of the code (or something skewed along those   
   lines, maybe even 95%/5% or 99%/1%). It is a waste of time to optimize   
   100% of the code for speed; you will get most gain for least pain from   
   concentrating on that critical 10% or 5% or 1%.
