I wasn't saying lambdas are a reason that it's slower.. only that it was a feature that made it really nice to work with.

I remember the difference being a bit more than that, on the order of half a second in difference.. but that was around the .Net 1.0 timeframe.. I still used it for a lot of things because it didn't matter to me.. but a couple of things I wanted to use it for at the time was too much lag for starting an EXE and getting output from the command prompt.. running as a service was a different story.

A 1.2Ghz early Athlon was a lot slower than what we have today as well... even so, depending on what you need, even 10ms can make a difference.
