C code is usually either valid C++ code or is trivially modifiable to be
valid C++ code. Whether such code runs faster when compiled as C or as C++
depends upon the quality of the compiler, not the language.

However: C++ has additional features over C. Whether those features make
the program faster or slower depends upon how you use them.

No language feature is inherently "slow". Even if a particular feature has
a performance cost, if it simplifies development then the time saved can
be spent optimising other parts of the code.

The question isn't which language you would use if you wanted absolutely
optimal code (otherwise, everyone would use assembler). The question is
which language will produce the best result given the development time
available.

The answer to that question depends more upon the skill of the programmers
than on the language.

On one hand, C++ has features which will allow a good programmer to both
improve performance and reduce development time simultaneously. On the
other hand, not all programmers are good programmers, and C++ provides
not-so-good programmers with far greater scope for messing up.
