At the end of the day, it realy boils down to the specific app. i think you
can write managed code that rivals unmanged in perf in most application
scenarios, but is it worth making convoluted code to do it? Managed and
unmanaged both have their place, and any more I think a blend of the two is
really the sweet spot for just about every app.
