You won't be able to perform any platform specific optimizations, but in general cross platform code is not any slower than platform specific code. Three examples: NetBSD, Linux kernel, Qt. Neither NetBSD nor Linux are considered "slow" by any stretch of the imagination. Qt is impresively fast, and is only called "sluggish" by biased trolls. David
