Re: minimizing the cost of managed/unmanaged collaboration

In terms of using your native API from managed, out of the box; I don't
think there's anything specific for general performance between
managed/unmanaged code.  With VC2003, using IJW will be faster than doing
the PInvoking yourself (or so I'm told).  Migrating to VS2005 and C++
Interop (Implicit PInvoke) you'll get another slight boost int performance.

As you incrementanly move your native to managed you'll be able to get
some performance metrics and test performance increases/decreases.
