I've seen the posts about all the speedups each new version of .NET gets and I'm just wondering, was .NET just alright in performance before all this? Is that the reason they can get all these speedups? :P
I'd be interested in some JVM vs .NET 6 benchmarks too, which platform to chose when.
EDIT: I know about the benchmarks and I also feel like sometimes these benchmarks are really optimized in a non-idiomatic way. I would love to know how performance idiomatic Java/.NET code is and if one is to start a new project today why one would choose the JVM over .NET or when someone would chose .NET over JVM.
