Yes C is much easier to write efficient code in.  C++ can (with a good
compiler if you can find one) be made to do efficient code as long as
you avoid most of its stupid features (which makes it mostly C anyhow).
Java is just hopeless.  I suspect the main problem with java's performance
is that there are an awful lot of bad java programmers.  It seems to
attract them (or perhaps create them).  A good programmer could do a
much better job given a better language.
