Only if you use inheritance. Inheritance requires vtables which can take up
some memory. All depends on how many classes and virtual methods you have.

C++ is merely a layer above C, which is solved at compile and link time. So
it's not slower than C unless you write classes and methods that slow
everything down. You can use inlines to make your text code look clever and
your machine code be very fast.
I think that the most important thing to consider is: do you need C++ ? That
is, do you need inheritance ? If so then you should use C++ whatever the
cost, at least for the objects in your app that require it. Now do you need
speed ? Use 68K assembly. Do you need both ? Mix them.
