On the slow and bloated issue - having not looked for any, I'm wondering
if there are any performance benchmarks or comparisons out there.

I'd like to hear some more opinions on this - for or against.

One downside to moving to Mono would be that Red Hat would no longer
include Planner with its distributions (since they won't or can't
distribute Mono).  I'm most interested in using the best toolset for
Planner, though.

Thoughts?
