Yes they were on the latest version of Mono, which in my experience outside of web programming is just as fast as the JVM. I think the gap has more to do with the libraries than the VM, but I'd be willing to wait it out to see. I'm not migrating soon anyway...although it would be nice to know how far out it is.

Lately I checked the Perlin noise performance test that was linked to on reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/31mzu1/go_vs_ru...).

Summary:

Benchmark: C# (Mono) - 1052.041381 ms, Java - 597.9874 ms

My machine: C# (Windows) - ~475 ms, Java - ~552 ms

Even considering that Mono is using maximum precision available (so instead of floats it's using doubles), when I swapped all floats to doubles it still ran in ~525 ms on my box.

So while Mono might be 'getting there', sometimes it's still lagging behind. It's just something to keep in mind :)
