* Round 6 does not yet use SQL Server. A contributor has provided SQL Server test implementations, but we don't expect to include that until Round ~7 because it will still require some additional work. It is conceivable that the .NET MySQL driver is especially poor.
* We do not yet have a test that is expressly heavy computation with no database connectivity. I suspect that C# and .NET would perform reasonably well on such a test (isolating it from its database connectivity).
* We do not yet have Windows i7 tests. But performance would likely scale about the same as seen between Linux EC2 to Linux i7.
All that said, it's also possible that the ASP.NET implementations of our tests could benefit from additional tuning. We have had a couple subject matter experts give contributions but we'd be happy to receive more.
