Of course DirectX runs at same speed from Vb or C++, why should it not ?

At VBITS http://www.vbits.net Stockholm I was at a seminare about DirectX and VB and they told that the problem with VB was testing for many collisions because VB does not have any fast enougth structure to hold the information.

I can not tell if true or not but they did not recomend VB for a comercial like DOOM.
