Source Generators can improve performance in ways that aren't limited to reflection at run time to discover types as well. Some scenarios involve calling the MSBuild C# task (called CSC) multiple times so they can inspect data from a compilation. As you might imagine, calling the compiler more than once affects the total time it takes to build your app. We're investigating how Source Generators can be used to obviate the need for juggling MSBuild tasks like this, since Source generators don't just offer some performance benefits, but also allows tools to operate at the right level of abstraction.
