[Mono-dev] Make it go faster

[Zoltan Varga]

Hi,

  You might want to try the llvm backend in mono 2.8 and later:

http://www.mono-project.com/Mono_LLVM

<http://www.mono-project.com/Mono_LLVM>That will compile most IL code using
the LLVM optimizing compiler instead of the mono JIT. The next mono release,
2.10 will have llvm enabled official packages.
