The cost/time difference of developing an application in C vs the speed benefit just doesn't make sense. Save yourself 75% of the development time and put $20 more processor in your box. ;)
The problem is when all of the developers on a complex system of software take that same attitude, and you end up with massive code bloat. There is a place for optimization and efficiency in all applications.
