Doesn't it depend on the benchmark? Yes, for some numeric problem as described here (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/algorithmic-performance-compa...), the 7% figure seems reasonable. But for a real world app with object creation/deletion, the C++ memory model at a lower level would provide a much better performance over a garbage collected higher level one.

And even if (hypotheically) the performance difference a constant 7%, that is still a tangible cost.
