And as both are sound *programming* languages, the speed also depends on how well
you've designed your Csound/SC programs itself.

In all these languages (and in software like Pd) you can do some terribly slow
things, but if you do them right, they may run pretty fast. I don't think,
there is much difference between SC and Csound when both just play some sine waves,
probably this is well optimized in both. I didn't benchmark it, though.
