C/ c++在有大型数组或数组(任何大小)上的大量循环/迭代的程序中可以表现得更好。这就是为什么在C/ c++中图形化通常要快得多，因为几乎所有的图形化操作都基于繁重的数组操作。net在数组索引操作中是出了名的慢，这是由于所有的安全检查，这对于多维数组尤其如此(是的，矩形c#数组甚至比锯齿形c#数组还要慢)。

The bonuses of C/C++ are most pronounced if you stick directly with pointers and avoid Boost, std::vector and other high-level containers, as well as inline every small function possible. Use old-school arrays whenever possible. Yes, you will need more lines of code to accomplish the same thing you did in Java or C# as you avoid high-level containers. If you need a dynamically sized array, you will just need to remember to pair your new T[] with a corresponding delete[] statement (or use std::unique_ptr)—the price for the extra speed is that you must code more carefully. But in exchange, you get to rid yourself of the overhead of managed memory / garbage collector, which can easily be 20% or more of the execution time of heavily object-oriented programs in both Java and .NET, as well as those massive managed memory array indexing costs. C++ apps can also benefit from some nifty compiler switches in certain specific cases.

I am an expert programmer in C, C++, Java, and C#. I recently had the rare occasion to implement the exact same algorithmic program in the latter 3 languages. The program had a lot of math and multi-dimensional array operations. I heavily optimized this in all 3 languages. The results were typical of what I normally see in less rigorous comparisons: Java was about 1.3x faster than C# (most JVMs are more optimized than the CLR), and the C++ raw pointer version came in about 2.1x faster than C#. Note that the C# program only used safe code—it is my opinion that you might as well code it in C++ before using the unsafe keyword.

Lest anyone think I have something against C#, I will close by saying that C# is probably my favorite language. It is the most logical, intuitive and rapid development language I've encountered so far. I do all my prototyping in C#. The C# language has many small, subtle advantages over Java (yes, I know Microsoft had the chance to fix many of Java's shortcomings by entering the game late and arguably copying Java). Toast to Java's Calendar class anyone? If Microsoft ever spends real effort to optimize the CLR and the .NET JITter, C# could seriously take over. I'm honestly surprised they haven't already—they did so many things right in the C# language, why not follow it up with heavy-hitting compiler optimizations? Maybe if we all beg.

在一个特殊的场景中，c++仍然占据上风(并且将在未来几年占据上风)，即可以在编译时预先确定多态决策。

通常，封装和延迟决策是一件好事，因为它使代码更加动态，更容易适应不断变化的需求，并且更容易作为框架使用。这就是为什么在c#中面向对象编程是非常高效的，并且它可以在术语“泛化”下泛化。不幸的是，这种特殊的泛化在运行时是有代价的。

Usually, this cost is non-substantial but there are applications where the overhead of virtual method calls and object creation can make a difference (especially since virtual methods prevent other optimizations such as method call inlining). This is where C++ has a huge advantage because you can use templates to achieve a different kind of generalization which has no impact on runtime but isn't necessarily any less polymorphic than OOP. In fact, all of the mechanisms that constitute OOP can be modelled using only template techniques and compile-time resolution.

在这种情况下(不可否认，它们通常局限于特殊的问题领域)，c++胜过c#和类似的语言。

需要大量内存访问的应用程序。图像处理通常更适合在非托管环境(c++)而不是托管环境(c#)中编写。使用指针算法优化的内循环在c++中更容易控制。在c#中，你可能需要使用不安全的代码来获得相同的性能。

我想这么说:编写更快代码的程序员，是那些更了解当前机器运行速度的人，顺便说一句，他们也是那些使用适当工具的人，这些工具允许精确的低级和确定性优化技术。由于这些原因，这些人使用C/ c++而不是c#。我甚至认为这是事实。

受此启发，我做了一个快速测试，使用了大多数程序所需的60%的通用指令。

下面是c#代码:

for (int i=0; i<1000; i++)
{
    StreamReader str = new StreamReader("file.csv");
    StreamWriter stw = new StreamWriter("examp.csv");
    string strL = "";
    while((strL = str.ReadLine()) != null)
    {
        ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
        string[] strline = strL.Split(',');
        al.AddRange(strline);
        foreach(string str1 in strline)
        {
            stw.Write(str1 + ",");
        }
        stw.Write("\n");
    }
    str.Close();
    stw.Close();
}

字符串数组和数组列表是特意用来包含这些指令的。

下面是c++代码:

for (int i = 0; i<1000; i++)
{
    std::fstream file("file.csv", ios::in);
    if (!file.is_open())
    {
        std::cout << "File not found!\n";
        return 1;
    }

    ofstream myfile;
    myfile.open ("example.txt");
    std::string csvLine;

    while (std::getline(file, csvLine))
    {
        std::istringstream csvStream(csvLine);
        std::vector csvColumn;
        std::string csvElement;

        while( std::getline(csvStream, csvElement, ‘,’) )
        {
            csvColumn.push_back(csvElement);
        }

        for (std::vector::iterator j = csvColumn.begin(); j != csvColumn.end(); ++j)
        {
            myfile << *j << ", ";
        }

        csvColumn.clear();
        csvElement.clear();
        csvLine.clear();
        myfile << "\n";
    }
    myfile.close();
    file.close();
}

我使用的输入文件大小为40 KB。

结果是

c++代码在9秒内运行。 c#代码:4秒!!

哦，但是这是在Linux上…在Mono上运行c#…c++和g++。

好的，这是我在Windows - Visual Studio 2003上得到的:

c#代码在9秒内运行。 c++代码——可怕的370秒!!

In theory, for long running server-type application, a JIT-compiled language can become much faster than a natively compiled counterpart. Since the JIT compiled language is generally first compiled to a fairly low-level intermediate language, you can do a lot of the high-level optimizations right at compile time anyway. The big advantage comes in that the JIT can continue to recompile sections of code on the fly as it gets more and more data on how the application is being used. It can arrange the most common code-paths to allow branch prediction to succeed as often as possible. It can re-arrange separate code blocks that are often called together to keep them both in the cache. It can spend more effort optimizing inner loops.

我怀疑。net或任何jre都能做到这一点，但早在我上大学的时候就有人在研究这一点，所以认为这类东西很快就会在现实世界中找到自己的方式也不是不合理的。
