Quick question

[Deranged]

The speed difference is marginal though. I think the comparison between C's stdlib and c++'s namespace std functions speedwise was C++ was an average of 4 or so milliseconds slower. It's not something that's a big deal. I mean hell, a lot of the time these days I use MANAGED development just because it's so much easier to work with, even if it is even slower(still marginally though)

Depends on what you're doing - if you're processing millions of documents, that extra 4ms can add up to weeks or even months of processing time.

But, yeah, it's marginal compared to something like VB or Java.
