No, they don't. Don't believe what you read in videogame magazines and websites.

Higher level languages will only make it slower. They have many advantages (I'm a __Pythonic__ man myself) but performance is not one of them, and will never be.

Although terminology is loose, an optimization is something bigger and better, as in improving an algorithm's complexity by thinking it better. A hack is to release the game, wait till your users curse your lazy ass, then go through some C inner loops and add some moderately simple trick.
