That all depends on the efficiency of your c/c++ code. But given that your c/c++ code is somewhat more efficient, it speaks for itself that there will be a point that it will improve performance, as soon as the computation becomes really intensive. For our project, everything was written in C++ already, so it made sense to write the map/reduce applications in C++ too so they can use the same common library -- I personally would be very reluctant to introduce a new programming language into my codebase for the sake of a small performance gain alone, though. But that's a matter of opinion. Regards, Leon Mergen
