I'd have to strongly second that. Yes, it is possible to write bloated,
slow programs in C++. It is also possible to write bloated, slow programs
in C.
In a number of ways, C++ is actually a better system programming language
than C. They key is understanding the performance implications of using
different language features. This is nothing new. System programmers know
the tradeoff of << vs. * in C. They should also know the tradeoff in
declaring a member function virtual...
Although it is pretty dated, I think that the book Windows++ by Paul
DiLascia gives a nice pragmatic introduction to C++. Instead of showing
overly trivial sample classes and throwing out a bunch of OOP buzz words it
puts a functional wrapper around a (even then) complex OS and gives pretty
honest benefit/performance explanations.

Not really, since neither statement is necessarily true.
