I think the text makes it clear that it is only the combination of libraries
that is harmful to performance -- and then only when they are layered,
nor just side-by-side.

The only sentence I see which comes close to saying that is:
The downside is that writing through cout can quite easily lead to
awful performance when the C++ I/O library is layered on top of the
C I/O library (as it is for 3.0 by default).
If this is what you're referring to, then I will rewrite it to make it
clear that the awful performance is due to multiple independant buffers,
not an assumption of a poor C library.
