autoeventwireup performance cost

Question

I have been looking at improving my asp.net page performance, is it worth changing autoeventwireup from true to false and adding the event handlers or is the performance pen

Answer 1

From MSDN article.

Performance Tips and Tricks in .NET Applications

Avoid the Autoeventwireup Feature

Instead of relying on autoeventwireup, override the events from Page. For example, instead of writing a Page_Load() method, try overloading the public void OnLoad() method. This allows the run time from having to do a CreateDelegate() for every page.

Knowledge Base article:

How to use the AutoEventWireup attribute in an ASP.NET Web Form by using Visual C# .NET

When to avoid setting the value of the AutoEventWireup attribute to true

If performance is a key consideration, do not set the value of the AutoEventWireup attribute to true. The AutoEventWireup attribute requires the ASP.NET page framework to make a call to the CreateDelegate function for every ASP.NET Web Form page. Instead of using automatic hookup, you must manually override the events from the page.
