Re: I'm Shocked

Hello,

Until 6 years ago I was a C++ programmer. The last 6 years I've done
something else than computerprogramming, but now I'm a bit back, learning
myself C#.
I cannot resist sometimes to compare these two languages (as far as I can,
not programming for 6 years is quitte a time),
so I had to try the speed of both: allocate 30,000,000 objects of a class,
and clocking the time necessary.
Here is the code for C#:

namespace Temp
{
 class Program
 {
   static void Main(string[] args)
   {
     DateTime t1 = DateTime.Now;
     Test[] tab = new Test[30000000];
     for (long i = 0; i< 30000000; i++) {
       tab[i]=new Test();
     }
     DateTime t2 = DateTime.Now;
     Console.Write("Begin time is {0}:{1}:{2}:{3}\n", t1.Hour, t1.Minute,
t1.Second, t1.Millisecond);
     Console.Write("End time is {0}:{1}:{2}:{3}\n", t2.Hour, t2.Minute,
t2.Second, t2.Millisecond);
     Console.Read();
   }
 }

 class Test{
   private int i;
   private double d;
   private float x;

   public Test(){
     i=123;
     d=3.1415926;
     x=6.28f;
   }
 }
}

and here it is for C++:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>

class Test {
private:
  int i;
  double d;
  float fl;

public:
Test() {i = 123; d = 3.1415926; fl = 6.28f; }
};

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
SYSTEMTIME startingtime, endtime;

GetLocalTime(&startingtime);

Test *ar[30000000];
for(long int j = 0; j< 30000000; j++)
   ar[j] = new Test;

GetLocalTime(&endtime);

printf("%2d:%2d:%2d:%2d\n",startingtime.wHour,startingtime.wMinute,startingtime.wSecond,startingtime.wMilliseconds);printf("%2d:%2d:%2d:%2d\n",endtime.wHour,endtime.wMinute,endtime.wSecond,.wMilliseconds);
getchar(); return 0;}I hope someone will say "YOU MORON..!"and that I've
done something wrong..But the C# program was ready within 11seconds.. the
C++ program took 15seconds; so it was SLOWER.How can thisbe!?!?Kind
