Ideally when a method is called it is compiled just in time to native instructions and then the native instructions are executed, this can often be faster, even on a first run, than interpreting the corresponding bytecode. There are various other strategies, but generally the goal of JIT is to have all of the code that is executing JIT compiled. HotSpot technology even does profiling and optimization above and beyond just making instructions native. So I think it is rather unfair to make off the cuff, unvalidated, statements about whether or not C# has the potential to execute faster. We are all rational beings here, we should be making decisions on proof and empirical data gathered from unbiased sources. Otherwise we really have nothing to go on above and beyond conceptual level details. And at a conceptual level neither method of execution holds an edge since we are still going to end up with wholly or almost wholly native instructions. So lets be informed and well thought before speaking about things. It takes very little effort to learn about some of this stuff at a very high/conceptual level, so I am rather ashamed to see so much misinformation floating around this thread. Asking questions I can understand, but making offhand statements on a clearly unfounded basis is not proper IMO. I think when we are discussing issues of this nature one bit of misinformation can lead people VERY far astray. No one should ever take anything at face value without some sort of validation (as far as it is reasonable to validate). But that still does not mean making blatantly incorrect statements and assumptions is the way to go.
