by the way Dr.Dobbs posted a bench mark of all three languages on multiple platforms (using GCC for C++). The results weren't compelling in any direction

Ok maybe you misunderstood what I meant because I don't think that you're going to argue that there is additional overhead associated with OO programming; on the assembly level you have to make a ton of go-to statements to blocks of code which is inherently slower than simply running through...

C++ slows as soon as you add the overhead for OO. The second you want to program as if you're from this generation of programmers any computational speed advantage is nullified. I support both C# and C++ project in my office right now and the C++ application is far slower than any other...

IB has a partner in Greenwich CT that actually did automated options trading. They had what they called "Pilots" that would monitor the computers trades to make sure that it wasn't doing anything off the wall. I interviewed with them but didn't have much enthusiasim for the position since I...
