C will win. I don't know why one would need benchmarks; the very nature of C ensures that it will win. C is the lowest-level popular language, hands down. Not only are there much more efficient compilers available for C than for other languages (like gcc and tcc) but going from C to higher level languages means sacrificing program speed for easier coding. Some may think that C++ vs C#.NET is an iffy contest, but surely no fool would dare challenge the might of C as speed king! WOULD YOU??
