Thanks.
Well, as I understand, what will be released as "3.5 SP1" is really
again 2.0 SP2 + 3.0 SP2 + 3.5 SP1 proper. The runtime part there is in
2.0, so it should be covered by 2.0 SP2 - and then that would be
immediately applicable to all 2.0+ .NET applications running on that
system, so we should see all the improvements there as well; not just
faster startup, but proper inlining of methods with struct arguments,
and all the other goodies.
