  Folks: I did some crude benchmarks (moving around arrays of integers, generating random numbers w/ .Next() and .NextDouble(), no I/O) and found that for visual express beta 2, my c++ and c# code were much slower than my python code (w/ psyco).  I cannot believe this is true, but it may be there are issues with the beta and compiler options that I'm being stupid about.  I did (for c++) use the release option -- is there anything else g ...Show All
