YMMV on Mono - their 64-bit could have different performance characteristics than our 64-bit JIT. On Windows it's a big win because the 32-bit JIT is much, much faster than the 64-bit JIT.
Also does Mono have something like ngen? If so you should definitely use it and you'll get much improved startup that way too. > -----Original Message----- > From: users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com [mailto:users- > boun...@lists.ironpython.com] On Behalf Of Count László de Almásy > Sent: Friday, July 24, 2009 4:15 PM > To: Discussion of IronPython > Subject: Re: [IronPython] [ANN]: IronPython 2.6 Beta 2 > > On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 10:07 AM, Dave Fugate<dfug...@microsoft.com> > wrote: > > Quite simply put IronPython users with 64-bit OSes will see around a > 33% improvement to > > IronPython startup time under ipy.exe! > > Great news.
