If everything was built with gcc, then all might be better, but since different compilers from different vendors (Sun, gcc, MSVC, Borland...) come into play, C++ was intended to be incompatible in this regard. That's long been a reason for favoring C API's over C++.

The problem is that they are apparently approaching it asymptotically.
