Some benchmarks that shows the overhead of the XMLSerializerCache

var xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(DataSet));

On a first call, this generates a cached serialization assembly. On my PC, this takes 0.2 seconds. However, on subsequent calls,
this line executes in 0.00006959 seconds.

This is how I timed this;

        private TimeSpan CreateXMLSerializer(int numberOf)
        {
            var dtStart = DateTime.Now;
            var lNumber = Enumerable.Range(1, numberOf);
            foreach (var intIteration in lNumber)
            {
                var xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(DataSet));
            }
            var dtEnd = DateTime.Now;
            return dtEnd – dtStart;
        }
