The performance differences between C/C++ and C# are astounding. An ASP.NET page loads in 1/8 the time that a PHP script does haha....

WPF, aka " The Future ", (you know it will be, all the companies are gonna want cool looking desktop apps, don't kid yourself.) And it has huge performance hits just to start up.

We've let Microsoft make us as developers lazy! Why do I hate this, it's such a good thing?

Are we at a point in time where the majority of computers can handle this kinda crap?

I remember when performance used to matter.

Anyways, I'm writing a .NET library and ever since I found out LINQ is slower than traditional delegates which is slower than the normal procedural code... well it's a guilty evil I feel for every LINQ query I write, because they are so beautiful.

Am I just too much of a performance stickler? Or just too big of a nerd?
