[Mono-list] Performance issue

[Serge]

I think you're generally right about .NET's GUI performance (slow).
It could be slow (when compared to native app) for various reasons.
Comparing torus example from Lloyd's CSGL (the sample has both native Win32
and C# implementation) it was noted that .NET GUI app spawns a lot of
additional threads, thus number of context switches and time spent in kernel
increases dramatically (according to performance monitors). But to be fair,
that native version is a hack - no one writes real GUI apps this way :-)
