Unless you're trying to write first-person shooters or something, it's probably plenty fast enough for your needs.
I've thought about writing games in C#, but decided to focus on using C++ because I'm not that great at unmanaged code, so I thought I could kill two birds in one stone by learning how to program in C++ better and learning how to make a video games at the same time. Learning C++ this way has been a adventure to say the least..
