Quake2.Net White Paper

Related to my last post, here's a quote from the quake2.net whitepaper:

Quake2.NET Whitepaper

"Getting existing projects into managed code is useful since it offers a lot of design
freedom, for example:
• Use garbage collection or manage memory yourself.
• Use .NET Framework methods or Window API calls directly.
• Use .NET Framework classes or existing libraries (STL for example).
However, usefulness only matters if the managed application has the performance
you require. Running Quake II.NET in the timedemo test indicates the managed
version performs about 85% as fast as the native version. The performance of the
managed version was acceptable and testers did not notice a difference between the
two versions."
