My boss's boss has heard a rumour that C# is faster than VB.NET and is now
concerned because we are writing stuff with VB.NET. My first reaction is
that this is absurd. They both compile to the same IL, right?

Now I've done a little C#, but on the whole I suffer from curlybraceaphobia,
so I'm looking for amunition to defeat his claim. Can anyone point me to an
article or anything official looking that states that neither language is
faster than the other?

Just show your Boss's Boss the last salary survey from Visual Studio
magazine, showing C# programmers cost $25k more than VB.NET programmers.
Thats a lot of $$$ for what is in most business applications a miniscule and
irrelevant performance gain.

But then again, depending on your management, they might conclude that the
salary difference means a C# program is 33% better than the same one written
in VB.NET.

Good luck!
