I only have a programming range of 1 computer, so not much testing. Anyhow, std::cout is way more faster on my build using the exact verbose code. I am using Cpp14.

I just think certain people have a pick for C++. Yes C is great language but logically I don't see how printf can be faster than std cout. Printf has to do type conversions from void pointer on runtime. Cout does that at compile time.
