This guy in my lab keeps refusing to use C++ in our program intended
to simulate somatosensory neural circuits because he says it is slower
than C. My (uninformed) response was that most of what you see as
overhead (ie, message routing, value accessing, type checking) is
optimized away at compile-time.


Any pointers to more empirical studies?
