ASP.NET Resources - Performance of Dynamic Object Instantiation
As Provider pattern has been gaining more and more favor among developers, I’ve been wondering about performance implications of dynamic object (provider) instantiation it mandates. The most common mechanism to create providers on the fly has been via Activator.CreateInstance. Steve Maine did a nice perf test of Activator vs. the new operator, which showed that Activator was quite slow (which was reasonable to expect).
