Not a Go programmer I'm guessing.
Go can be made to run much faster than C.
Especially when the legacy C code is complex and
thus single threaded, Go's fabulous multicore
support means you can be exploiting parallelism
and finishing jobs faster, with far less effort
than it would take to do it in C.
If you measure performance per developer day
invested in writing the Go, Go usually wins
by a wide margin.

I can accept that performance/hour-spent is better in Go than C, but that's different from Go's performance ceiling being higher than C's. People often confuse ceilings with effort curves.
