Situation: I am designing a
Under the hood, they will both use the same code, so speed differences will not matter.
If you are running on Windows only, the non-standard cprintf() might be faster as it bypasses a lot of the streams stuff.
However it is an odd requirement. Nobody can read that fast. Why not write output to a file, then the user can browse the file at their leisure?
