I am playing around with some sockets and I am finding that the speed at

with a browser.

There are many things which I've found much faster on a PC than on an
IBM i. My intuition says this is almost all down to the respective
roles and design choices of the systems being compared. The
performance of the IBM i doesn't seem to be affected much as you add
users and workload. If I have too many things running on my
single-user PC, I start to notice.

Is it simply that RPG is a "slower" language than C, etc?

I doubt that is the reason for what you are seeing. Again, they are
designed for different roles, but I think RPG and C are both very fast
and efficient languages on the i.
