[Mono-list] Performance

[Simon Ask Ulsnes]

You all probably know this already, but I thought it was quite funny to write a tiny performance test program to see if there was any difference between Mono and Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0.3705. There was:   Red Hat Linux 8.0 running Mono 0.18: Approx. 7.2 seconds Windows XP running MS .NET Framework 1.0.3705: Approx 5.02 seconds   My program basically counts 1 million and prints out how long it took.   The test was performed on my computer, which is an Athlon 650 Mhz.   Many of you will probably consider this information irrelevant, but I think it is a little interesting. I don't know whether the difference of about 2 seconds is because one was on Linux and the other on Windows or because one was with Mono and the other was on .NET Framework.   Source attached...   // Simon // This sentence no verb.

                while (i<1000000000)
                {
                        i++;
                }
                Console.WriteLine("Time taken: 
"+DateTime.Now.Subtract(dstart).ToString());
        }
