I don't have any hard numbers for fortran, but I do for C structures. Using C structures with some other C functionality (pointer functions, etc etc) can yield up to a 3x slowdown at worst, and at best, had a 15% slowdown. I have seen similar results in fortran, but don't have the benchmark results for it. In either language, nothing beats raw data types for performance. Just my .02, I know some out there may not agree.

Do you have any numbers to back that up?
