I did some C# scripting years ago (computing, displaying black body 
spectra in real time). Speed boost over LSL was x10.

Speed gain is much smaller today. Although i can no longer execute 
the C# version, the LSL version which ran in 1.8s in 2011 is now 
around a half second.

I also did some UDP communication, now replaced with HTTP which can 
be awesomely fast.

The pain of LSL is still lack of data structures and modularity.

And it is a huge pain.
