so i wanted to see what kind of performance increase having native .net classes would produce in grasshopper. i new it would be good was was surprised to find a 50% or better increase in speed.
to test it i used a definition i wrote for a 3d mandelbulb (the Mandelbrot fractal in 3d) see HERE
so in the test you will see the sample set to 80. that means 80^3, so its generating 512,000 points
thanks. unfortunately for the 3d mandelbulb to produce any really good results the sample size has to be set to 512 (134,217,728 points) or more. usually it is calculated using voxels and openGL which can display millions of voxels per second, actually creating the points is a bit intensive.
