Or you could write your performance critical code in C or assembler. 
And P/Invoke it from the higher levels of code that do not need the
performance.

There will be few places where you could actually get a gain from the
optimized C code, and that will be places where you can infer things
about the data you are operating on (in unsafe contexts for example), 

But you are welcome to try ;-)
