    Bench code which tests entity materialization speed of various .NET data access / ORM implementations

  • In theory this is a fair approach, till you realize that an ORM is a very complex piece of machinery that takes a lot of effort to implement (The LLBLGen Pro runtime framework is 1M lines of C# code for instance). Even falling back to a micro that performs well in most situations and can deal with the queries you need to execute (!) isn't easy. Good luck beating Linq to DB's performance (Dapper is ok, but there are faster ones, check my benchmarks, they're on github).
