Dave,
It was my understanding that the .NET compiler produced "managed" executables,
which had quite a bit of overhead. (but were less prone to buffer overflow
errors).

I'm guessing that if people are using it to compile things where performance is
critical (ie chess engines) that i must be wrong in my understanding.

can anyone confirm or deny this for me?

Thanks,
Eric Oldre
