Sounds ok. How is the performance of corcompare approximately?
Can i do a reasonably sized dll (300kb) in less than 0.01 seconds?
(Just looking for some ballpark numbers)


What is actually going to happen if i would just load the new and changed
dll and it would actually have different signatures? Would it just crash? Or
give me a runtime exception at some point when jitting one of the functions?
Maybe i could make mono preload the dll completely and if that fails i know
they are not compatible?

Best regards
