Applications just run faster. This is one of our themes for v.next.

Since our last release in Visual Studio 2010, we have made significant improvements to the entire C++ stack, including the concurrency runtime and libraries. Here are some performance charts to get you excited about our v.next!

Stock portfolio analysis is 10-15% faster

Cartoonizer is ~20% faster

Simply recompiling the cartoonizer sample gives you about 15-25% performance improvement.
