Is C++/CLI faster than C#

c#, c++-cli

Solution

Not necessarily. However, C++/CLI takes away much of the syntactic sugar around non-performant ways of doing things that is present in C# (boxing for example).

Also, C++/CLI allows you a much more clean interop with unmanaged code, actually allowing you to mix managed / unmanaged code, which is a performance crucial environment may be of benifit.
