Yes, you can write slow C++ programs, but you can alos write programs
that have exactly the same performance as a C program.

So, what is the overhead you're speaking about?

Yes, you can write C program in C++. I am talking about various "OO
Numerics" that slow down computtaions substantially.

I said that you can write C++ code as efficient as C code. I did not
say that you can write C code in C++ (which is also true). You can
use objects as data structure and still have efficient algorithms.

I don't know what you call OO Numerics. Can you explain?
