I would prefer to trade some speed in exchange for less buggy code, and in my
view use of C++ leads to less buggy code. I suspect that those with their GHz+
Athlons are not actually using all their power; for the rest of us, it's
possible to upgrade to something fast if we really need it.
Which is not so say performance is unimportant; I think it sensible to choose
tools that provide good productivity and to use them as efficiently as
possible.
