I am relatively new to world of programming. I have a few performance questions:

Do console apps run faster than apps with a graphical user interface?
Are languages like C and Pascal faster than object oriented languages like C++ and Delphi? I know language speed depends more on compiler than on language itself, but do compilers for procedural languages produce faster code than OO ones (including C++ compilers that can produce C code)?
