Thank you to all those who post,

I've actually read reports that optimized C (done by the compiler) is about as fast as it gets. Even compared to assembly. You could still be right though, that's just from what I've read.
My two cents on what I've gathered from the couple of pages I've read on this thread is that a lot of people seem to want to collect programming languages. There's another thread about 'have learned/learning' where people brush off the fact that they know C like it's something you could pick up on a lazy weekend.
I can't speak for others but I've never been able to do this effectively. I took a six month break from C to learn PHP, only to have to re-acquaint myself with some of the basics when I returned to it. Then, I started back with C, and found later I needed to re-acquaint myself with PHP! So I'd caution people against switching languages haphazardly; unless you're fine with knowing the basics of many languages but having mastered none.
