Your program prints stuff at every iteration, so it mostly measures I/O
performance. Drop out the print, or print every 1000th item, and you
will start seeing a significant differences...

This is also a textbook example of a case where using C doesn't make
much sense performace-wise. Many seem to believe that using C/C++ also
magically speeds up I/O, and choose it over alternatives because their
network server "needs to be fast".
