Subject: .Net engine

     Hi all. I have embarked on a most interesting project...writing a chess
engine in VB.Net. They say that .Net languages are supposed to be so much slower
because of the framework...will be interesting to see if it's true. If nothing
else, this is a great opportunity for me to learn more about .Net. Any thoughts
on this?
     Also, one interesting thing I've run across...it seems to me from my
research that using the Byte data type is more efficient memory-wise when
working with small integers than using an integer data type, but it's actually
slower somehow when doing math operations.
           1.) Can anyone verify for me that this is true?
       and 2.) Which is more important?
