[Mono-list] Major performance difference vs. Microsoft

[mkbosmans]

You could try a Linux live CD (like http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download)
to test the performance for Mono on Linux. Just burn the CD image and boot
your PC from the CD, no installation required.
For desktop usage such a CD would be very slow, but once loaded, the CPU
bound testcase for Mono should run about as fast as on an installed
distribution.
