I think learning about a system is most easily achieved *while* using
it, not *before* using it. Experimentation and experience are better
teachers than replies to questions on newsgroups.

I am not
comfortable switching to C# until I know every detail of exactly how to at least
match the performance of native code C++.

I suggest you:

1) Make a first attempt at converting some algorithm you're concerned
about to C#.
2) Profile it to find out what's slower than your budget allows.
3) Then perhaps ask specific questions on the newsgroups about how to
improve and / or redesign a particular construct / technique.
