I'd agree with the other posters, I don't think the speed differential's
that large. The only reason we've compiled some code into native C++ is that
it interfaces with libraries that were unhappy being compiled as managed.
Initially we were going to compile a lot of our maths code unmanaged, but
the difference in speed was neglibible so in the end, we didn't bother. We
have the same code running as pure native code in another test harness and
it doesn't seem any slower, though I don't have comparison figures.
