Undeniable Proof that C++ is the Fastest*

Even Faster Than C!

And with C++0x/C++11, it's only going to get even faster due to constexpr, noexcept, and r-value references.

Garbage-collected languages don't stand a change against C++, what with their global heaps and thread serialization required to acquire heap locks. Only languages with manual-memory management can attempt to hold a torch to the glory of C++.

* ``Fastest'' being limited to the discussion of general purpose programming languages.

So C++ is faster than C because it was in a benchmark where C was not tested? Does that mean that C is infinitely slow?
