Use of System.Environment Class and Why is XmlSerializer so slow

Why is XmlSerializer so slow?

The XmlSerializer It makes extensive use of reflection to extract information about the fields of an object. Any time reflection becomes involved, performance drops drastically. Another reason is that there is a once-per-process-per-type overhead with XmlSerializer. So the first time you serialize or deserialize an object of a given type in an application, there is a significant delay. This normally doesn't matter, but it may mean, for example, that XmlSerializer is a poor choice for loading configuration settings during startup of a GUI application.

XML Serialization

XML Serialization is the process of serializing a .Net Object to the form of XML or from an XML to .Net Object. The primary purpose of XML serialization in the .NET Framework is to enable the conversion of XML documents and streams to common language runtime objects and vice versa. This is the process of converting an object into a form that can be readily transported.
