Hi James,
It depends on your application, if it is a data bound application, I think
the performance can be in both applications very good, but to get that
performance without the managed code will probably be very much more work.
(I never talk about speed in this kind of situation, because speed is
measurable and is often the reason of bad decisions, because the speed is
only a part of that)
I do not know where you live, but a plane is faster than a metro when you
can reach your destination direct with a metro, mostly that is the fastest
way to travel.
I think this kind of decisions have also too be considerate when choosing
Just my 2 eurocents.
