Yah well, oop is really nice but it is not necessarily the most efficient approach. Sometimes a good bit of procedural code will be much faster. Neither of the two paradigms have all the bases covered, they're just different sides of the same coin.
Compared to the old days of a 68040 CPU at 25Hz, which was only 19 MIPS, I would think that today's 2GHz+ cpu's would be considered fast! Maybe it's how people use them, or how sloppy the code has become, or how abstract.
I would definitely opt for arrays for particles if you want efficiency.
