I disagree. The IronPython implementation, on mono/x86 runs just 1.2 
times faster than CPython.
On PPC IronPyrthon/mono runs even slower than the real CPython.
Surely there are still work to do, but I guess those "the clr is not 
great for dynamic languages" claims may be true (I still think you may 
found value in using it for interoperability)
