Is there a faster way than BitConverter.ToInt32 to convert a byte array to an int value?
If I remember correctly, that implementation uses unsafe code (treating a byte* as an int*), so it will be hard to beat, but the other alternative is shifting.
However, from lots of work in this area, this is so unlikely to be a genuine bottleneck as to be irrelevant. I/O is the main issue, typically.
GetBytes(int), however, is more expensive (in high volume) due to array / heap allocation.
