While I don't doubt this, C# and .NET have not been designed with realtime in mind, but for "office"-type of applications.

Hence neither a good choice for drivers not for DAWs, when latency is a decent issue. (Nor is any non-native code.)

(This is not just an impression, but a friend of mine support a system that ia to process hundreds of telephone calls in a single box, and needs to do this using a huge count of threads. He did some research regarding .NET and declined to use it. Regarding DAWS that can be used for live performing, the latency demand is even 10 time greater.)
