Sorry for emailing you direct Matt, I didn't intend the message to be private, I'm just so used to other mailing lists in which the reply-to it the list's address.

It's a pretty big assumption that the performance of a program written in Java would be equal to the same program written for the CLR. Sure they're both GCd enviroments with a root base class, but that's about the end of the similarities. You just *never* know till you do some performance testing. The fact that value types are allocated on the stack in the CLR could alone make a drastic difference in performance in such an application. You also can't just expect to try and compile with J++.NET or find some Java -> C# source translator and expect that to reflect performance fairly because you obviously wouldn't be taking advantage of the CLR properly in that case. </snip> Later, Drew _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
