I do not really get what your intention is.
In the realm of bioinformatics we get constantly exposed to rather inefficient code covering all languages. It is not about the 20 time faster a C/C++ code runs in general, but about the question whether your code is running at all, your code can be easily adapted to your own needs, be modified, whether your code properly exploits the potential of your processing units. And yes, whether your code is working cross-platform.
I used probably dozens of crap-out-of-the-box C executables. So we are not even close any situation to discuss superiority of C languages in bioinformatics in general. Specific applications might for sure benefit, but in general we need better programming practices first.
