Not only that, but it's written in C - doesn't that automatically make it faster than anything else?

From what I understand, C can be faster mostly due to superior optimization by compilers. I.e., two programs, one in C and one in RPG to do the same tasks, the C program can be significantly better optimized to perform better.

But that's essentially hearsay...

If true, it suggests some questions about how optimization is done in light of a common intermediate W-code (or whatever). Exactly _what_ is optimized and what does the optimization?
