The specific example that started this thread was that a very large amount of object boxing is going on internally -- a performance issue, rather than an API issue. Generating/shipping 2.0 assemblies would allow similar internal performance optimisations to be #ifdef'ed when people identify them. -- Michael Hutchinson http://mjhutchinson.com _______________________________________________ Gtk-sharp-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gtk-sharp-list
