is using mutex faster then semaphore in vb.net

Question

My application is very very speed esential and even a microsecond matters.I am using semaphore(1,1) at varios places. I think it can be easily converted into mutex.But I want to know if it will be advantageous or its one and the same thing as far as speed is concerned. I will be oblidged for any constructive answer. Thanks.

Are you optimizing without having searched for and found bottlenecks first? That sounds like a recipe for disaster. — Joachim Sauer, Aug 10 '11 at 07:01
