I have an F# quotation that I manipulate (I add object pools everywhere to recycle short lived objects that get created and deleted very often). I would like to run the resulting quotation; for now I have used the F# PowerPack which offers methods to convert a quotation to an expression tree and the to a delegate, which I run. Having no access to the generated code, I was wondering:

-what is the performance of the compiled code? Is there some layer of reflection that is not removed or is it a true compilation?

  • can I see the generated code and use .Net Reflector on it?

thanks 🙂

    Last I looked, the performance was absolutely awful, around 50× slower than F# and even slower than a naive interpreter.

    Frankly, I don’t understand why they didn’t just expose the F# compiler itself as a run-time service (and FSI). F# would have much better tooling now if they had done…

    EDIT: I benchmarked quotations running a fibonacci function last night and it was actually 700× slower!!!
