    Wrong! You should test both program on your computer! because my computer is probably much slower than yours! otherwise you compare my C# version on my PC to you C++ version on your PC. well, all the C++ coder seems afraid to see the truth I could see... ;P

      In case you don't know how to compile C# let's at least compare the computer's spec. I have and AMD Semprom 2800+ 1.61 GHz

                            From the top of my head:

                            #include <iostream>
                            using namespace std;

                            int main()
                            {
                            double sum = 0.;
                            for (unsigned i = 0; i < 0xffffffU; ++i) {
                            char buffer[1024];
                            for (int j = 0; j < 1024; ++j)
                            sum += buffer[j];
                            }
                            cout << sum;
                            }

                              I just looked at your specs... you realize that the 2800+ is the relative performance compared to an Intel right? My AMD is only 1.8ghz and runs faster than this one at work. I don't have any of my fast computers at the moment. :)

                                I tried cl /O2 /EHsc sieve.cpp It compiled without any message but crashed right away... Now, if C++ is so much more powerfull, why do I need an optimized compiler? :doh:

                                    if it is so obvious there is no need to add anything ;P although I could comment that I do have no clue about what is the diference between the gcc compiler and an optimized compiler ;P

                                      I simply took the sources from the article: http://www.csharphelp.com/archives2/archive458.html[^]

                                        If I'm using MSVC, do you think it's really worth it to switch over to Intel's compiler? And, does it integrate into VS? Just curious to know, as I've never used it, but I've heard positive stories about it.

                                          From the top of my head:

                                          #include <iostream>
                                          using namespace std;

                                          int main()
                                          {
                                          double sum = 0.;
                                          for (unsigned i = 0; i < 0xffffffU; ++i) {
                                          char buffer[1024];
                                          for (int j = 0; j < 1024; ++j)
                                          sum += buffer[j];
                                          }
                                          cout << sum;
                                          }

                                          Well, previous post have shown the speed superiority of C++ already. And the slowness of GCC as well. And it's time to go to bed for me so I won't test it now. But here is the C# version:

                                          using System;

                                          class Test
                                          {
                                          static void Main()
                                          {
                                          double sum;
                                          // you can't use unintialized buffer in C#
                                          // and I though a new at each iteration was overkill
                                          char[] buf = new char[1024];
                                          for(uint i=0; i
