C is really old language compare to java, .net. Given it a couple of years, the speed of java, .net will be fine.
Quite seriously, no.
A well-written C program will outperform a well-written Java or C#/.NET program today, tomorrow, and for the forseeable future. This will only change if/when hardware becomes available to directly support CIL or java bytecode... the mythical Java Processor for example.
By that view, I think Sun/Microsoft do a good job.
Sun has definitely done a damn fine job. Microsoft I'm reserving judgement on.
