In the CLI, decimal is not a native type like Int32, String, and others are. I am guessing that C# uses Compare behind the scenes to implement the comparison operators.
Also, you can pass Compare as a parameter to a sort routine without creating a delegate, reducing the method-nesting levels inside the sort.
That’s a couple of things off the top of my head.
