Writing this in C would be how much slower? Not much.

Modern bloat comes from the software footprint, not so much about performance gains anymore. Compare the UI of MenuetOS with the latest GTK and the 100 shared libraries involved.

It's not so much that C would be slow but that with C and high-level languages it's very easy to do lots of the wrong kind of work.

Let's not turn this into C vs assembly again. People are free to choose their favourite language to develop a hobbyist OS - and do a pretty good job in the process.
