Interesting: it seems, as Miscosoft developped their commodore basic, it became slower 
But in fact there is a mistake in the comparison, as stock C64 was not able to draw circle or lines, but was drawing via POKE commands or extensions, like Simon's BASIC. But it si visible when you compare stock C64 and BASIC7.0 (I can say same as BASIC3.5, same team behind) that the 7.0 is 3-50x slower than the simulations done is pure Basic2.0+POKE commands. his is how ame MS was when made this extensions...
It means, that just by using compiler or C/Pascal implementation, graphical drawing commands can be easily 5-10, if not 30 times faster than in raw BASIC3.5.
I never tried it myself, but trust in the reviews
