You mention [a] small example program with a loop in a loop in a loop which is very inefficient to begin with. What specifically are you trying to do? Can you post the code and some sample data with expected results so that we might suggest alternatives? Or perhaps head on over to CodeReview to have your code improved on for efficiency? As for your very general question about which solution to go with, it's hard to say without more information. Generally speaking though, VB.Net will still be quicker, but we can probably make your code or formulas much more efficient — tigeravatar 17 secs ago

Jeroen's right. static readonly fields shouldn't be consts for the heck of it - yet that's how it reads
 
EBrown
EBrown
@JeroenVannevel Is it perhaps the use of the term "constant?"
 
Jeroen Vannevel
Jeroen Vannevel
4:33 PM
well first of all: static readonly is not a constant
it's a static readonly
you can re-assign it from other constructors meaning it's not a constant
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
It can be assigned in the constructor with a generated value passed in.
 
Jeroen Vannevel
Jeroen Vannevel
Oh no wait
I'm bs'ing
you can only assign to it in a static constructor which is still evaluated only once
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
But, it can have a generated value passed into the ctor.
 
EBrown
EBrown
I've updated the language for that part a bit.
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
For example, I could assign a static readonly int with a pseudorandomly generated value in the ctor and it couldn't be converted to a const.
 
Jeroen Vannevel
Jeroen Vannevel
4:37 PM
In a way it is still constant
 
Hosch250
Hosch250
Yes, it is, but it can't use the const keyword.
Basically, it is a constant that can take any value rather than a value that is known pre-compile.
 
Mat's Mug
Mat's Mug
you tweaked Roslyn to compile static context assignments from non-static context?
 
EBrown
EBrown
@JeroenVannevel That's what I meant to imply. Once the value is set, it cannot change.
 
Mat's Mug
Mat's Mug
    class Test
    {
        private static readonly string foo; // note: static

        public Test()
        {
            foo = "bar"; // illegal. ctor isn't static
        }
    }
the constructor must be static as well for it to work
