On Linux the performance of 3D distributed particle SLAM (a CPU intensive task) running on the Mono .NET (version 2) runtime is marginally faster than the same code running on Windows using the MS runtime, but only by a few milliseconds. Performance benchmarks are very similar to the same algorithms written in C++ and compiled with gcc. The advantages being advertised for C# (i.e. new functional programming features) only apply to .NET 3 or above, which isn't available on GNU/Linux systems and so is of no interest to me at this point. Arguments about programming languages are a popular topic on AI forums, but usually generate more heat than light. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=103754539-40ed26 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
