What exactly do you mean by "overhead"? What two things are you comparing?

Subject: [Ikvm-developers] Overhead and Best Practices
IKVM with Drools 2.x has been a great success. We are now
looking to do something similar for Drools 3.0. However we
are under pressure for a full port of the core code - which I
want to resist due to the resources needed to maintain such an effort.
One key issue that .Net developers bring up is the overhead
of using IKVM - quoting figures of over 20%. I have no
empiracal facts, but I find that hard to be true. Anyway it
would be good if IKVM developers could provide some empircal
information and also best practices - i.e.
things to avoid if you want speed. Then I can say we are
using IKVM overhead for X is no more than 3%, overhead for Y
is 5%, we avoid Z which is 20%. If the overhead is only a few
percent and IKVM continues to prove stable, as it already
has done, the case for a native port diminishes.
Also maybe a "Get the Facts" document might help, as i have
some users worred about a Frankenstein system; even though I
tell them that running Java on .Net is no different than
runny Python or VB, it all compiles down to IL.
