[Mono-list] Suitability of Mono

[Alan]

Hi,

For performance issues you should use a profiler and optimise as
appropriate. This is the same procedure no matter what  programming
language you use. The odds are high that the issue is an algorithmic
one and so the issue would be the same regardless of programming
language.

Secondly, install mono on your existing machine and test your
application by running it under mono. See what works and what doesn't.
Running under mono on the same operating system as you currently use
is a good way of checking for mono bugs. There are a bunch of issues
which may appear when you start running your application on another
platform. Some of these can be detected using Moma.
