Ahhh. In this case I was using a different meaning of the word native.
I mean that some .NET programs use regular win32 dlls that are
compiled for and run as x86 code instead of the virtual environment
that .NET provides. Using these dlls can greatly improve the
performance for cases where .NET slows down performance to an
unacceptable level.

Agreed.
