QtRuby dynamically constructs QMetaObjects, rather than it being done at 
compile time by the moc pre-processor. But the actual runtime is identical. 
We need a way of denoting which methods are slots in C#, and I assume we can 
use 'attributes' (or are they called 'annotations' I've forgotten). Maybe you 
could have a look at how we might mark slots, and then the runtime side 
should be very similar to QtRuby. We don't have to invent anything much new 
apart from that.

That's interesting - I haven't done any timing tests on real proxies in Mono, 
but there's certainly plenty of scope for tuning. I think the performance of 
JNI is supposed to be pretty poor, and I would have used gcj's CNI for the 
next version of QtJava, along with java dynamic proxies.
