I'd caution against the performance claims. Yes its very good and can take a serious beating but there's a brick wall that requires a pile of tuning and tool purchasing to get over. Oh and the instrumentation and debugging past the bits of code you wrote and the .Net runtime core libraries is utterly horrible. See some of my earlier comments about this matter. I'd rather build on the JVM now thanks to tools like VisualVM and profilers that can be deployed across the team for free.
