Normally not, at least not significantly. I'd recommend you using c++ by default and c in some niche cases.

With respect to the very same code, C should be ever so slightly faster, in light of the fact that the executable can be smaller and this could decrease lookup time. This only apply in corner cases where the target system has super limited RAM (some embedded systems).
