C# Performance Pitfall – Interop Scenarios Change the Rules
C# and .NET, overall, really do have fantastic performance in my opinion. That being said, the performance characteristics dramatically differ from native programming, and take some relearning if you’re used to doing performance optimization in most other languages, especially C, C++, and similar. However, there are times when revisiting tricks learned in native code play a critical role in performance optimization in C#.
I recently ran across a nasty scenario that illustrated to me how dangerous following any fixed rules for optimization can be…
