  <p>Hello!</p>
  
  <p>Are there any cases in which C# is faster (has better performance) than C++ in practical use?</p>
  
  <p>I heard that generic collections are a significant performance advantage over stl - is that true?</p>
  
  <p>Has native code written in C# (unsafe block, pin pointers, Marshal...) the same performance as the same code written natively in C++?</p>
