C#/C++ build comparison

Without seeing the code it's all just random guessing.. And my crystal ball is not being helpful atm.
If you want to see where time is spent, try a profiler...

As per my last post, the hello world program.

Here's the adjusted C# version:

static void Main()
        {
                RenderWindow window = new RenderWindow(new VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
           
                CircleShape shape = new CircleShape(100);
                shape.FillColor = Color.Green;

                Stopwatch clock = new Stopwatch();
            clock.Start();
                long frames = 0;

                while (window.IsOpen())
                {
                        window.DispatchEvents();
                       
                        if (clock.Elapsed.Seconds >= 30)
                        {
                    Console.Write(frames.ToString() + " in " + clock.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString() + "ms");
                                break;
                        }

                        frames++;

                        window.Clear();
                        window.Draw(shape);
                        window.Display();
                }
        }

It is not. I misread your code and removed my post when I realized (after about 20sec).

No worries, I have done the same.

This code does nothing. Add some stuff to your loop, like drawing 50000 entities. Otherwise, the surrounding "noise" (ie. negligible calls that you don't want to test) will have a non-negligible impact on the overall result.

But trust me, all languages will give the same results as long as you are testing a binding. Because all the time-consuming operations are done in the core C++ library (or in this case, even in the OpenGL driver itself). Don't waste your time.
