First, I wouldn't draw any comparisons between different software on different
operating systems. Too many things changing at once. What were the results for
mono/windows?

However, I'm surprised by the difference, since they should be JITting to
equivalent or at least similar assembly. It might be interesting to see what
assembly they are generating. I think on .NET you can do this with the
debugger.

Yes, entirely possible. mint is generating and executing millions of
instructions on its VM, each VM instruction will correspond to quite a few
assembly instructions.

Yeah, you wait until strings get involved. Then things get really slow. :(
