You are rather trivialising OCCAM to syntax for creating/using processes and
channels, there is much more than this to the language, a C environment 
simply does not provide the semantics, compile and run-time checking, 
formal proving or transformation methods that you get with OCCAM. OCCAM is
a popular language and is not losing popularity, you can rewrite an 
application in obfuscated C but it bears only a passing resemblance to 
OCCAM. I still echo the sentiment of many customers who like to use the
benefits of both.

Aren't benchmarks wonderful, so subjective! 

Just as well there are so many other goodies in the package then!
