That's interesting. I wonder why the difference is so dramatic on my machine? 
If this was the difference in performance on my setup, too, I would be totally 
okay with that...

> Mono 3.41

What version of Mono is this???

Ok, you've provided some source code, you said it is important to you, and it 
represents your real life work load.  You've said you had some performance 
problems with it and would like to know why and what to do about it ...  Other 
people here have commented that it seems we're avoiding the problem.

So, I'll bite:

I downloaded the file you linked above, and compiled it, .Net 4 Windows 7 
x86_64 dual core intel i5.  It ran in 3.3 sec.  I then ran on the exact same 
machine in windows mono 2.10.9 and it ran in 3.66 sec.  To eliminate sampling 
error, I ran repeatedly, and alternatingly.  Windows 3.4, Mono 3.41, Win 3.3, 
Mono 3.41, Win 3.3, Mono 3.43

While the mono performance is a little lower, it's not dramatic.

I then set var totals = new List<int>() { 10, 10, 100, 100, 1000 }; to make the 
job run longer, and ran again.  Win 32.7, Mono 32.8, Win 32.4, Mono 32.9

Even less dramatic.

I set the totals list back to the original presets.  Deployed the .exe to a 
slightly slower windows 7 x86_64 virtual machine with 2 cpu's and 1 g ram, and 
also deployed (and recompiled) to a fedora 17 x86_64 machine, mono 2.10.8 
installed via yum.  The win & lin machines have identical system specs, running 
on the same host hardware.  win 4.9, lin 3.2, win 4.9, lin 3.2, win 4.9, lin 3.2

The most dramatic result we're seeing in any of these tests, is that mono for 
linux is significantly faster than .Net for this particular task, while mono 
for windows is slightly slower than .Net.  Again, specifically for this test 
case in this configuration.  I would not be comfortable generalizing anything 
from this.  I bet you'll see different results with different patch levels of 
Windows or linux, different versions of .Net, different versions of mono, 
different on 32bit vs 64bit hardware, etc.
