Enough with the faulty logic, where are the benchmarks proving it? I've still provided more evidence of your assertion than you have.

You don't need a benchmark. Given any C code, you can make a C++ code that runs as fast (just use the same code). This proves that C++ is at least as fast as C.

From there, maybe you could use C++ features to improve the speed (and then C++ is faster) or you could not (and then they have the same speed).
