> In what world is this a useful comparison? If you're also separately benchmarking the same C library running on its own, then it's quite interesting to benchmark a .NET wrapper around the exact same library, as it allows you to estimate the overhead from the .NET runtime itself as separated from user code (ideally you'd try this with a bunch of different C libraries). Of course, the program should be very very clearly labelled accordingly. Since it was just labeled as "csharpcore", then I am inclined to think the submitter was treating the benchmark as a competition.
