Description:	FloatPerfTest is a simple floating point benchmark software. It calculates values in the mandelbrot fractal set and measures how long it took. There are 3 implementations: C++, C# .NET 2 and C# .NET 4 (C# code is identical, just a different runtime). The code was done/compiled using Visual Studio 2010 Express. The C++ release build has fast floating point maths and other optimizations turned on.
