I don't get this comment. This is about performance in browsers, not different physics engines...?!

It looks like Farseer is based on Box2D, but extended, so it makes a kind of sense. I suspect the .NET VM performance will be somewhere around what the JVM gets, so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

I must admit to being unfamiliar with Farseer, but if you feel like submitting a pull request, I'll figure out a way to run it on my Mac (I presume the "platform" you're referring to is .NET, or perhaps WinMo).

It doesn't make sense to test farseer on anything but Windows. I would be curious to see how .NET stands these days with relation to Java and native.

You may want to read this to catch up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software)

I know about Mono. I don't think its as fast as Microsoft's own CLR, though I would definitely be happy if it was.

It's perfectly useful as comparison of browser-based Box2d ports, and how they perform relative to the original C library.

Farseer can run in browser using Silverlight.

Is NaCl even cross-browser?
