[Ironpython-users] Poor performance of a c# - Ironpython application

[Steve Dower]

I'll throw in that exceptions are much faster in CPython than
IronPython (.NET generally), so if you have any exceptions being
thrown you'll want to find ways to avoid (not just handle) them.

For example if you are defining a class in a loop and returning a new instance of a new class every time through Ipy's performance would be noticeably worse.  You could see this just by profiling your app in VS and see if there's a lot of time being spend under an Update* method in the DLR which then calls into the IronPython runtime and is spending a lot of time in a Bind* method.  If you see that you can report back the Bind method which is spending all the time and we can discuss the patterns in your code.
