I doubt that Mono is so dumb that it doesn't remember function entry
points.  More likely, it's taking some time to marshal data over the
managed boundary.

Without seeing any code it's going to be difficult to diagnose
anything.  Note that things like Gtk# make heavy use of p/invoke and
seem fairly fast, so I don't think the use of p/invoke alone is the
problem.

(Also, this question would be better directed to the main Mono mailing
list, as it has nothing to do with Gtk#.)
