  That last point I don't buy.

  You can do *anything* with C. You can exactly replicate the machine code
run by SQL or prolog in C. It may be more laborious to do in C than in SQL
or prolog, but it will certainly not run slower.

  If you *don't know how* to make it equally fast in C, that's a completely
different, unrelated issue.
