For some performance numbers see my blog post:

Razor is nominally a bit slower than aspx but in a real world application (that does database access etc) this would not be a big deal (unless you are running a really big site where you need to squeeze every bit of performance).

This blogpost by Haack should get you a long way. Also there is a link in the article for the basics.

Does not require you to explicitly close the code-block, this view engine is parsed intelligently by the run-time to determine what is a presentation element and what is a code element.
