How can I make reflection faster?

What is the “cost” of .NET reflection?

I'm a little surprised this exact question hasn't been asked here before (that I've found). But like the title says: How to make reflection faster?

Use it less? But you will need to provide a question a bit more specific if you would like this to survive, most likely. — Anthony Pegram, Feb 10 '12 at 06:21
If you could not find a similar question, you clearly have not searched hard enough. — leppie, Feb 10 '12 at 06:25
@AnthonyPegram I use reflection to load data I retrieve from sql server into my business objects and I can load the data 'into' the business objects as fast as smss does a select * on the same table. — Brandon Moore, Feb 10 '12 at 07:13
@Umer Yes, but what processor is going to speed it up by over 500x? :) — Brandon Moore, Feb 10 '12 at 07:14
@BrianRoach Hardly. I didn't ask what the cost was, I asked how to reduce the cost. — Brandon Moore, Feb 10 '12 at 07:15
@leppie I've searched quite a bit actually. I just wanted to share my findings with a lot of people who will appreciate it so I posed the question in order to do that. — Brandon Moore, Feb 10 '12 at 07:18
You could also add your answer to one of the duplicate posts. — Wouter de Kort, Feb 10 '12 at 07:26
@WouterdeKort Just did, as a comment. Didn't find them until they were pointed out to me though because I wasn't searching for quite the right thing. — Brandon Moore, Feb 10 '12 at 07:26
@WouterdeKort Which tells me that someone else who's searching for how to make it faster rather than asking how bad it is may not find those articles either... — Brandon Moore, Feb 10 '12 at 07:27

Use an api like fasterflect: http://fasterflect.codeplex.com/ or learn (from same website) the tools you need to speed it up yourself.
