Mono does not interpret stuff. Mono compiles bytescode ahead of time to native cpu instructions. "mint.exe" is an interpreter that really interprets byte by byte from the bytecode to cpu code, but the default mono runtime really compiles stuff in memory while the application runs.

Obviously the details are a lot more complicated, but it comes down to this: If you .net code is slow, than this is mostly caused by the highlevel framework and not so much by the nature of net itself.

Anyways, it's of course true that netcode runs slightly slower but not so much that you should notice it. It's probably the same issue Java's GUI API had (/has?). It was (/is?) a mindboggling slow implementation and because of that people started to believe all of java was that slow.
