NET obfuscation affect performance?
Software obfuscation tools need not slow performance in any noticeable way. In fact, a sophisticated .NET obfuscation tool can take a few steps to improve performance by compacting applications. Optimal application of overload induction techniques will reuse identifier names, and other functions will prune unused classes, methods, instance variables, and design time metadata. The size reduction can range from 20-40% or more of an application’s size. Compacted programs often load faster and run in less memory. Moreover, networked distribution of components is more efficient because application size is reduced.
