title: Performance: Compile in VS, Run in Mono on Windows and Linux
body: <p>I have the following questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is it possible to compile a C# project using VS.NET, and run it on mono?</li>
  <li>Are there any performance benefits associated with approach 1 (vs compiling with the mono compiler)?</li>
  <li>What about running the output .exe/.dll on linux? And what are the associated performance characteristics?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
