monkfan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Most Wises,

Let's suppose I have two codes, each does exactly the same thing. Except:

Code 1: Is written in pure C, both its *main* and subroutines.
Code 2: Is written in Perl for its *main* and with subroutines written in C, via Inline::C

My question is: will the performance/speed of Code 2 be (close) equal to Code 1?
Regards,
Edward
