Well, this is slighly anecdotal, but:
We have at least one experience of the same algorithm implemented in
IDL and in C, and the difference was significantly more than your
example (of the order of a minute v. an hour), though as we did not
implement the IDL version ourselves it could have been poor coding on
their part.
My point is that if you wanted to say something substantive you should
try a range of algorithmic problems.
