Interesting!

Don't know much about .NET, but I'd be very interested in understanding why
this is so [really].

For example, calling into some search API, using either language, should
result in no noticeable difference - so I assume there's more to it than
this in your code, i.e., that the VB/VC code is having to do some
pre/post-processing in order to prime/return the search results?

Could you possibly post any sample code - that contains just 'the meat',
i.e., where before the search is done, things are equal [the 'timer' is
started in both cases at zero if you like], but where after the search is
completed, the time the VB code takes is seen to be longer than the C++
code?
