It would be interesting to see just what those benchmarks were, and if they are really just testing the speed of stock standard library implementations...

Sounds a bit strange to get such large differences on basic operations. Seems C++ kicks everything else though.

I wouldn't put much stock in it.  The author claims microsoft is wrong about equivalent code in different .NET languages compiling to the same MSIL, but if you look at his code you can see that he's using the legacy VB File IO functions in VB.NET and the stock .NET implementations in C#.

He also couldn't figure out how to make an "unmanaged C++.NET" project.

Uh huh... an unmanaged C++ .NET project?  Who ever heard of that?
