Assuming those 10% still happen if the test was done today as suggested, how much are trade companies willing to pay for developers to achieve those 10% in C++ vs having a system although 10% slower, still fast enough for operations while saving salaries for more cheaper developers?
Labor is a market like any other. It depends on supply and demand. The demand is obviously high. http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2010/12/10/ex-goldman-programmer-is-convicted/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0
Performance engineers who can eek out that 10% on existing systems do very well. The same engineers who can build it entirely do much better.
Thanks Dan
