Your reply pretty much answers your question, especially if you
figure that Turbo C is targeted at 8088 class machines. Maybe
a combination C/C++ compiler won't be much slower that a C only
compiler (maybe) but it will certainly be bigger. On MSDOS big
is bad. On VM systems big isn't all that important.
