We have had to determine if C# was comparable to C++ in performance and I wrote some test programs for that (using Visual Studio 2005 for both languages). It turned out that without garbage collection and only considering the language (not the framework) C# has basically the same performance as C++. Memory allocation is way faster in C# than in C++ and C# has a slight edge in determinism when data sizes are increased beyond cache line boundaries. However, all of this had eventually to be paid for and there is a huge cost in the form of non-deterministic performance hits for C# due to garbage collection.

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。

我在c++ vs c#中插入代码的一个领域是创建到SQL Server的数据库连接并返回结果集。我比较了c++ (ODBC上的薄层)和c# (ADO。NET SqlClient)，并发现c++比c#代码快50%左右。ADO。NET被认为是处理数据库的低级接口。你可能会发现更大的差异是内存消耗而不是原始速度。

使c++代码更快的另一件事是，你可以在粒度级别上调优编译器选项，以一种在c#中无法做到的方式进行优化。

通常，这取决于应用程序。在某些情况下，c#可能慢得可以忽略不计，而在其他情况下，c++要快5到10倍，特别是在操作可以轻松SIMD的情况下。

I suppose there are applications written in C# running fast, as well as there are more C++ written apps running fast (well C++ just older... and take UNIX too...) - the question indeed is - what is that thing, users and developers are complaining about ... Well, IMHO, in case of C# we have very comfort UI, very nice hierarchy of libraries, and whole interface system of CLI. In case of C++ we have templates, ATL, COM, MFC and whole shebang of alreadyc written and running code like OpenGL, DirectX and so on... Developers complains of indeterminably risen GC calls in case of C# (means program runs fast, and in one second - bang! it's stuck). To write code in C# very simple and fast (not to forget that also increase chance of errors. In case of C++, developers complains of memory leaks, - means crushes, calls between DLLs, as well as of "DLL hell" - problem with support and replacement libraries by newer ones... I think more skill you'll have in the programming language, the more quality (and speed) will characterize your software.

对于图形来说，标准的c#图形类比通过C/ c++访问的GDI慢得多。 我知道这与语言本身无关，更多的是与整个。net平台有关，但是图形是作为GDI替代品提供给开发人员的，它的性能非常糟糕，我甚至不敢用它来处理图形。

我们有一个简单的基准来查看图形库的速度，那就是在窗口中随机绘制线条。c++ /GDI在处理10000行代码时仍然很灵活，而c# /Graphics在处理1000行代码时却很难做到。
