Pascal and C are roughly equivalent in my eyes, at least as far as what they spit out in the end. Both have pretty similar feature sets and development methodologies.
What surprised me is how much of a hit the OO programs took. I had thought they would compile down to something reasonably similar to the imperative languages, but C++ ended up being 50% slower.
