I will point out that NIntegrate itself is implemented in C. Your best possibilities are (i) Experiment with different methods and other options that influence NIntegrate. It may be that the default settings are far from optimal for the particular quadratures you require. This is especially likely if, say, the integrand has singularities of some sort in the domain of integration. (ii) Use standard commercial or free library code to do the quadrature. For this I imagine you would need to use MathLink to go between this and your Mathematica program. (iii) Determine whether some symbolic preprocessing might be of help. This is likely in cases where the indefinite integration (or part thereof, if an iterated integral) can be done symbolically, and there are no singularities so that Newton-Liebniz rule may then be applied. Somethimes other sorts of symbolic preprocesing can also help simply by making subsequent numeric evaluations of the integrand faster, or by removing cancelling singularities in separate parts of the original integrand. If typical NIntegrate calls are not too complicated you might want to post one, say in Mathematica InputForm. Daniel Lichtblau Wolfram Research
