Comment on Go 1.5 Release Notesparent

the auto-translated code mostly is very bad Go code, speed wise.

Is it? It might not be particularly optimized, but why would that ("very bad speed wise") be the case?

Generally, compilers aren't very good at compiling code that isn't idiomatic for the language. This is by design, since compiler writers try to make idiomatic, common code fast first and foremost.
