OpenTK.matrices

Hi, I have a beginner question:
I changed the ImmediateMode.cs example to understand and test the OpenTK.Matrix4:
I found out that if I use:

OpenTK.Matrix4 r = OpenTK.Matrix4.CreateRotationY(angle);
OpenTK.Matrix4 t = OpenTK.Matrix4.CreateTranslation(1, 0, 0);
GL.MultMatrix(ref r);
GL.MultMatrix(ref t);

instead of:

GL.Rotate(angle, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
GL.Translate(1, 0, 0);

The framerate is a lot higher. It looks like there is not VSync if I use GL.MultMatrix.

Why is this?

Another question is why do not have to use GL.MultTransposeMatrix?
The matrices r and t are row major matrices and should be first transposed before the can be postmultiplied on the column major matrix of OpenGL.

Here the full example:

protected override void OnRenderFrame(FrameEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnRenderFrame(e);
        GL.Clear(ClearBufferMask.ColorBufferBit | ClearBufferMask.DepthBufferBit);
 
        Matrix4 lookat = Matrix4.LookAt(0, 5, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0);
        GL.MatrixMode(MatrixMode.Modelview);
        GL.LoadMatrix(ref lookat);
 
        angle += 0.1f;
 
        OpenTK.Matrix4 r = OpenTK.Matrix4.CreateRotationY(angle);
        OpenTK.Matrix4 t = OpenTK.Matrix4.CreateTranslation(1, 0, 0);
        GL.MultMatrix(ref r);
        GL.MultMatrix(ref t);
 
        //GL.Rotate(angle, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
        //GL.Translate(1, 0, 0);
 
        DrawCube();
 
        this.SwapBuffers();
        Thread.Sleep(1);
    }
