Can you provide a reference for that? A quick search for me didn't bring up anything. I'm curious to read more.

As an aside, that sure feels like a lot of time to parse a single-digit integer. Not catastrophic by any means, but still, 100 to 200 cycles is a sign the program is definitely Doing Something. Perhaps that’s the memory allocator?


It's probably just because it's using reflection which is pretty slow in general. Lots of conditions/branches and boxing/unboxing of values.
