question about programming

Hi, I don't know much about programming (windows platform) but I do
have an interest in the discipline. I've noticed that when I install
various programs, some of them mention they were developed in c#, c++,
VB, etc. I understand each of these fall under different generations of
programming languages (5 total). My question is, would the same program
developed in a high gen language such as VB run SLOWER than a program
developed in a 3rd gen language? If so, why? Look forward to your
professional opinion on this.
