Yeah. I made a program that can open a counter project (it counts from 1 to 100000) in a second.

What do you think?

I made some time ago a thing called "Fast Java player" it countes in 1 second to 1 000 000

Java isn't really slower than C or C#!
Why should it?

In terms of high level languages, C is probably the fastest (if properly done) although if you wanted to be ultra fast, you could code it in assembly 

No.
You can't say "everything which is programmed in high level languages or assembly is fast" !
If you don't know much assembly your program would be probably slower than C.
If you write something bad (like a primfactor programm) your programm will be much slower than a optimized JavaScript script!

C is compiled into machine code. C# is compiled into byte code (am I right?) then compiled again at runtime. Java is just compiled into byte code. I haven't read much about this, but I think I am right...

Oh mai... Forgot about that.

I know.
Did you already compare the speed of a C program and the speed of a Java program?
I did...

therefore what I said was at least somewhat true, C is faster than java, as java has to be 'run twice'. Assembly code if well written should be the fastest, as it enables you to be essentially coding in machine code (although more readable), making it more efficient.

In order of fastest to slowest I would say it was:

Assembly, C, Java
