Ahhh. In this case I was using a different meaning of the word native. I mean that some .NET programs use regular win32 dlls that are compiled for and run as x86 code instead of the virtual environment that .NET provides. Using these dlls can greatly improve the performance for cases where .NET slows down performance to an unacceptable level. > However, you should > NEVER replace > a core dll with a native version unless you want trouble.
