You really, really ought to read the article I linked to, where they 
actually describe what they did.

Answer: No. If you compile C++.NET to CIL, then it's the .NET runtime 
running the code. If you don't compile it to CIL, then you get none of the 
advantages of .NET such as the ability to link to other functions that are 
compiled to the CIL such as those written in C#. You can of course compile 
some to CIL and some to native instructions, so this is a bit simplified.

You also lose some features of C++ that aren't supported by the CLR.

Otherwise, why would you have a 15% speed penalty?
