# Reflection Performance Benchmarks Unity Helpers replaces ad-hoc reflection with cached delegates that favour expression lambdas on IL2CPP-safe platforms and fall back to dynamic IL emit or plain reflection where available. These benchmarks compare raw `System.Reflection` against the helpers for common access patterns. Each run updates the table for the current operating system only. Sections that still show `_No benchmark data generated yet._` simply have not been executed on that platform. ## Windows Generated on 2026-05-08 04:08:17 UTC ### Strategy: Default (auto) #### Boxed Access (object)
