[DUG] Delphi vs C# for web services performance

[John Bird]

There is a web service we might are looking at implementing.   We could use 
either Delphi or C#.  Performance is highly critical.   Will be getting 
getting REST request, getting data from a DB. and packaging it into XML or 
JSON according to the request.

We have noticed that some C# web services have some latency but  this might 
be due to how they are setup on IIS rather than an inherent language issue.

We are wondering if there is any clear reason to do it in Delphi - anyone 
have metrics or references etc on performance?
