Problem #2 came quite a bit faster. The yield syntax in F# is very similar to the C# iterator syntax and made translating this sample a breeze.  As a commenter posted, in problem #1, I would've been better served to use Seq.filter as opposed to Seq...

Beth Massi dropped by my office a couple of months ago and we did a channel 9 video on the PInvoke Interop Assistant .  Mainly an overview of the product and a bit of a tutorial.  Check out the video here. http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/funkyonex...
