There is a factor 2x-4x when running Perl as compared to C code (obviously, it depends a great deal on what you do; I tested mostly CGI scripts with mod_perl). I am interested in how Mono compares to stictly interpreted languages (such as Perl, for now) with 'compiled' code such as produced with gcc from C.

If Mono is, in respect to performance, closer to such an run-time interpreted language, I would call it a waste of cpu in many cases (it's not because you have the latest processor, you want to see it crawl like a 286). Whereas if Mono's performance comes much closer to C-code, as you seem to point out, I would be very impressed and want to give it a try myself as it opens interesting perspectives.
