Not always.

Comparative performance tests were carried out
  using the same compiler (gcc/g++/gpp 3.2)
  in different environments (CYGWIN, MINGW, DJGPP)
  on Windows 2000 Professional.


Different methods of copying files were tested :

  ------ C methods ------
  Method C-1   : Functions getc() and putc()
  Method C-2   : Functions fgetc() and fputc()

  ------ C++ methods ------
  Method CPP-1 : Operators >> and <<
  Method CPP-2 : Methods get() and put()
  Method CPP-3 : Methods sbumpc() and sputc()
  Method CPP-4 : Method sbumpc() and operator <<
  Method CPP-5 : Method rdbuf() and operator <<


The results for CYGWIN and DJGPP are consistent, in particular:
  C-methods C-1 and C-2 are faster than C++-methods CPP-1, CPP-2, CPP-3.

Whereas it seems that C-methods C-1 and C-2 on MINGW are too slow, e.g.,
  C-methods C-1 and C-2 are slower than C++-methods CPP-2, CPP-3.

  The summary results are can be seen at
