You'll know as soon as you measure it. Not exactly rocket science, just plain old engineering. Measuring is what engineers do. You wouldn't build a bridge without first measuring the properties of the materials, and you wouldn't build a program without measuring the properties of its 'materials'.
You make a good point that it is strange we don't get better datasheets from 'material manufacturers' about the base measurements. That wouldn't fly in any other engineering discipline, but I guess that's the nature of software still being young. As unfortunate as that may be, you can't fight the state of affairs, you're just going to have to roll up your sleeves. Such is life.

That's better for YOU if you are trying to get answers, but for me the reader, you made up something about C# in the hopes of being corrected, and then lectured people asking for receipts.

Indeed. No sense in breaking the law.

I bet they wrote a song about you – or at least, as the song goes, so you think.

It wasn't made up. The FFI benchmarks I looked at truly did show that. I did not verify exactly what was the cause for the slowness, though – and I clearly maintained the doubt in the original comment in recognition of that. Speculation isn't quite the same as what you are postulating.
Nice execution of Cunningham's law, by the way. Now you're getting it. Welcome to the internet! You're going to like it here.

Cunningham's law explains why it is better.
