It doesn't matter they're not standard, as long as people are using them.
If a language needs extensions in order to be performant, then the language has

Furthermore, you cannot argue that C is more performant when you really mean
"Brand X C".
That's why I based my remarks on Standard C, not some vendor's extensions.
