Try-catch speeding up my code?

Question

I wrote some code for testing the impact of try-catch, but seeing some surprising results.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Thread.CurrentThread.Priorit         


        

Answer 1

I'd have put this in as a comment as I'm really not certain that this is likely to be the case, but as I recall it doesn't a try/except statement involve a modification to the way the garbage disposal mechanism of the compiler works, in that it clears up object memory allocations in a recursive way off the stack. There may not be an object to be cleared up in this case or the for loop may constitute a closure that the garbage collection mechanism recognises sufficient to enforce a different collection method. Probably not, but I thought it worth a mention as I hadn't seen it discussed anywhere else.
