Well the article's title is a bit misleading, since it does not try to proof that C# is actually faster than Java, it just argues that C# is better as a language. The reality is that C# and Java are pretty close and even if C# was twice as fast, it wouldn't be significant. C# may be a nicer language to work with, but Java's cross platform capabilities are a stronger argument for me. Mono on the other hand is a lot slower than Java on Linux.
