You're correct to think that some optimization techniques in .NET are applicable in mono, while others are not. The performance characteristics between .NET and mono vary wildly. If you benchmark the performance of mono vs .NET, you'll find that some things are faster in .NET, and other things are faster in mono. All they have in common is their API, and that means the implementation is different, and hence, performance characteristics are also wildly different. Reading about optimization in .NET is useful, regardless of anything else. But as you read your books, just keep it in the back of your mind. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
