For those that don't read the article and the linked connect request (https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=93858&wa=wsignin1.0) this appears to NOT be a feature of the x64 JIT (previously superior to the x86 one in every benchmark I ever tried)

While I applaud the changes made I am becoming increasingly unhappy with Microsoft's lack of priority with the 64bit code. The people who care about performance will almost certainly be on (native) 64bit.

With these improved inlining heuristics, do the same requirements apply as before such as the ones listed here? (http://blogs.msdn.com/ericgu/archive/2004/01/29/64717.aspx) I'm mainly curious as to the exception handling block rule.

Please deliver the .NET 2.0 SP2 bits for Windows 2000 SP4 in a separate service pack because .NET 3.0 and above can't be installed on that OS.

Please don't waste time on Windows 2000. It is 8 years old, which is a long time in compter years (like dog years). If you're running Windows 2000, it's time to upgrade.

And XP is 7 year old. It all depends on whether MS chooses to support it or not. And Windows 2000 is not yet out of support and runs fast on slower machines.

What I have disliked most about the VS 2008 Sp1 is the fact that it requires more than 4 GB of space to be installed. i do not have that much of space in the drive and some how I will not be able to get that much space. i am not sure what to do and how to install the sp1

First of all, I appreciate performance improvements, BUT

doesn't the policy of publishing service packs disallow to break compatibility with existing applications?

We are using .NET Framework 3.5 and Dotfuscator (which seems to be "microsoft-approved" obfuscator - community edition is attached to Visual Studio) - and now our application explodes at every customer which installs SP1.

All because CLR team has broken reverse compatibility of independent virtual method overrides renaming. I mean situation that virtual method override has different name than base method it was overriding what was perfectly ok in pre-SP1.

Of course guys from Preemptive, 2 months ago, introduced new feature allowing to disable this override renaming (what of course solve the issue), but we have a lot of non-forward-compatibile obfuscated binaries sent to our customers and now we will be receiving complaints when people install SP1.

Thanks guys!

I cannot for the life of me see a technical workaround but to reJIT and do obfuscation again regarding that specific problem. So, tough, let them include auto-update to their apps..

It is FAR, FAR, more critical to fix the x64 issue for structs and lack-of-inlining. Didn't MS learn from Cutler's anger before?

There are stacks of articles criticing both the JIT and the C# compiler, clearly demonstrating lack of basic compiler implementation skills in 21st century. That is simply unacceptable as is the performance of WPF, WinForms/GDI+ and much more.

First thing first, you have best guys in the field to do this and you beat Sun with a better Java VM for years.

Who on earth is the product manager of that messy approach?

The JIT still has a long way to go to catch up with Java's optimizations, so why keep delaying the work and fixes?

The Return of the CLR

Otherwise known, as "Return of the Giant Hogweed " Once upon a time , .NET was so new that there wasn't a Visual Studio .NET yet (the beta crashed every 5 minutes so you couldn't use it even if you wanted to), no books, few blogs and one had
