Because your program is running in a loop.

I don't remember if BC++5 came with a profiler. (version 3 did) If you
have one, run it with your program to see where you are wasting time.

You didn't say what type of program you are building, DOS, Windows
GUI, Windows Console.
If DOS, and you are sitting in a keyboard loop like this:
	while( !kbhit() );
You will be doing a whole lot of nothing  but  waste cpu time.
