Looking at benchmarks, I can see this is factually incorrect.
Also... show me where C allows you to see the pipeline directly. It's hard to optimize something you can't see.
C is an abstraction layer. So is assembly. Both are relatively thick when you're talking about things like branch prediction and pipelining.
