due to bad coding rather than the choice of language.
Also in one case, I have not been able to beat a program written by someone
else in perl. The program happens to be a greylisting server which involves
searching a IP in a table having millions of entries. The better speed (5x)
in the perl program happens because of a better search algorithm than the
one which I am using in my C program. A good algorithm in any language can
make a huge difference and outweigh everything else.
