Can Delegate.DynamicInvoke be avoided in this generic code?

Question

This question is partly about delegates, and partly about generics.

Given the simplified code:

internal sealed class TypeDispatchProcessor
{
    private          


        

Answer 1

So I did some measurements on this.

var delegates = new List();
var actions = new List>();

const int dataCount = 100;
const int loopCount = 10000;

for (int i = 0; i < dataCount; i++)
{
    Action a = d => { };
    delegates.Add(a);
    actions.Add(o => a((int)o));
}

var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
for (int i = 0; i < loopCount; i++)
{
    foreach (var action in actions)
        action(i);
}
Console.Out.WriteLine("{0:#,##0} Action
