Comparing Apples To Apples (The Myth Of Benchmarks)

I so love benchmarks. There supposed to give us an idea, albiet rough sometimes, about the differences in choosing one thing over another. By looking at the comparitive numbers, we should be able to make an intelligent decision regarding raw performance.

Shooting down more Anti-VB'isms...

This guy states : “I just can't LIVE without being able to do things like:“ string oink = myHashTable[someKey] as string ; if (oink != null ) “Or“ lock ( this ) { // yada yada yada } Hmmm... let's see. He states that VB can't do

I know I shouldn't let this sort of thing bother me...
