Nice to see that the new beta, sorry, CTP, of the next .Net Framework will increase the performance of .Net sockets by 70%! Way to go .Net dudes....
Interesting to see that it's a joint effort between the System.Net people (who, I assume own the sockets code) and the CLR people (who own the platform)... I wonder what the CLR guys brought to the tuning table...
It would be nice to know how the new (and existing) .Net sockets performance compares with the Win32 equivalent...
