That's why Generics are good - they still allow for abstraction, yet they give chance for compiler to generate better code: not sure how well they did it though but indications seem that Microsoft did a good job on those. Looking at IL code generated by C# compiler for one very tight loop and its like
Prepping it to be rewritten in hand optimised assembly - will be interesting to see if I get more than 3 times speed up.

I thank you.
This is true. I'm slowly getting rich.
I contract out .Net because it pays better. I use UNIX scripting languages on MySQL when I do my own stuff because the productivity is better therefore costing me less.

Hey AtW have you thought of going through all of MS software and removing all their error checking and abstraction. You will really speed things up in places and you could submit the changes as bug reports to MS.

I want to avoid explicit 2.0, even though my main build is done for 2.0, but 1.1 build is needed for profiler to work well - for some reasons it hungs in one place when build is 2.0.
