[Mono-list] Time problems on Mono

I made some speed tests too and found mono to be slower.
If you have some sample programs that run faster on mono I would be =
interested.

My test was simple:
// project created on 8/16/2004 at 4:00 PM
using System;

class MainClass
{
	public static void Main(string[] args)
	{
	   double sum=3D0;
  		for ( int m=3D0;m<9;m++){
  			for ( int n=3D0; n<=3D(1000* 1000 * 1000) ;n+=3D1 )
  	  		{
				sum *=3D 1.0;
			}
		}
  	}
}


The results was
Under .net 6 secs. Under mono 9 secs, adding --optimize=3Dall did not =
make a big difference.
The same program in c++ compiled by g++ -O3 is also about 6 secs.

But the most peculiar thing is that sometimes when compiled by mcs it =
takes mono above 2 minutes to finish, I have not found the differencing =
factor yet.
