Simple XNA 2D demo: why is my F# version slower than C# version?
- by Den
When running this XNA application it should display a rotated rectangle that moves from top-left corner to bottom-right corner.
It looks like my F# version is noticeably much slower. It seems that the Draw method skips a lot of frames.
I am using VS 2012 RC, XNA 4.0, .NET 4.5, F# 3.0. I am trying to make it as functional as possible.
What could be the reason for poor performance?
