- Scope Creation Overhead:
CreateScope()adds 80-100ns per call - DI Resolution:
GetService<T>()adds 50-70ns per handler - Behavior Chain: Dynamic construction adds 30-50ns
- Allocations: Delegates and closures add 200-300 bytes
- Compile-Time Registration: Zero reflection overhead
- Direct Injection: No DI lookups at runtime
- Inline Chains: JIT can devirtualize and inline
- Smart Scoping: Only create scope when absolutely necessary
Current Runtime Cost =
Registry Lookup (10-20ns) +
Scope Creation (80-100ns) +
DI Resolution (50-70ns) +
Behavior Resolution (40-60ns) +
Chain Construction (30-50ns)
= 210-300ns overhead
Source-Generated Cost =
Direct Field Access (0ns, inlined) +
Direct Method Call (0ns, inlined) +
Inline Chain (0ns, devirtualized)
= 0-20ns overhead
Savings = 190-280ns per dispatch (-30-50%)
