I saw Cory’s claim, I decided to run the tests on my own machine. This is what I got when I ran run.cmd:
Start C# benchmark
Int : 8151
Double : 2263
Long : 14210
Trig : 1692
IO : 2693
Total C# : 29009 ms
End C# benchmark
Start VB benchmark
Int : 8262
Double : 2283
Long : 14080
Trig : 1702
IO : 3044
Total VB : 29371 ms
Stop VB benchmark
Here are the results from run1.cmd:
Start VB benchmark
Int : 8112
Double : 2273
Long : 14210
Trig : 1763
IO : 3245
Total VB : 29603 ms
Stop VB benchmark
Start C# benchmark
Int : 8191
Double : 2263
Long : 14190
Trig : 1702
IO : 2593
Total C# : 28939 ms
End C# benchmark
In both cases, C# was “faster”, although the difference in my mind is so small that it validates my premise: it’s not the language, it’s the IL that’s generated underneath the scenes. There may be slight differences between the two, but at the end of they day they’re performing the same.
