I've integrated huge ASP.Net (C#) system with Twitter and had no problems with performance and open-source tools. For open-source C# Twitter API lib, I recommend Twitterizer <http://code.google.com/p/twitterizer/> . It is quite easy to get started and very flexible. As for performance, it is just fine. Performance bottleneck is Twitter API itself, which is sometimes slow, but that doesn't depend on your programming language.
Hadn't used search API though, so cannot comment about it.
