Has anyone here had a need to use Unmanaged Code, ie C++ interop for the sake of performance on a practical level? (ie, not just coz it's fun)

Im excluding driver or OS level code.
Only Server Side OR User side programs

Coz wouldnt the overhead of talking to unmanaged code overwrite any CPU-time benefits?

    Compute intensive tasks come to mind. Typical examples would be chess engines (often C/C++), interfaced via pipes on stdin/stdout, or Python's NumPy library (C).

    If anything, the overhead lies in all that management of *managed* code.
