Exactly the thing I hate about C++: it's quite more common that you
care about having virtual methods than you care about such increase in
performance.  Those who care about performance more than ease of
coding are invited to do whatever's necessary (mark methods
non-virtual or whatever), IMHO.

After all, if we try to bring such points ("it might be easier and
less error-prone to code in Java, but C# is faster"), then C is a
clear winner over both: it's (even) harder to code in it, but result
is (usually) faster.
