The CLR does inline, but it has restrictions that you're probably hitting. It has restrictions that I am absolutely definitely hitting, and that I hit whenever I want to do something that would actually benefit from inlining. Inlining a property get on a windows form in response to a mouse click - not very fucking useful. Not inlining a matrix multiply of a few million verts = guaranteed downcode to native. Not inlining a single matrix mult? Now I have to determine if the call to native, and the associated compiler, linker bullshit, is worth the effort. Ok, for games its obvious that one has to just jump in and write native code. But its a shame because the C# and the CLR should be able to out-perform the C++. There are tons of applications where it could be much faster but isnt, and where there isnt a programming team ready to drop down to native. Its a shame Intel can't write their own JITter.
