What does managed code really mean? How is it managed (other than beeing converted to native by JIT). Is there some kind of checks at run-time that goes on all the time? What does this do to performance?

First of all, performance is slower than with native code. A well-written C# program will be faster than a badly-written native program, though. Off the top of my head, the biggest difference I can remember is the garbage collection features. For every time you call "new" in C++ you must call "delete" on that pointer. In C# the runtime does it for you.
