Core domain operation performance across 36 built-in domains (numeric, DateTime, TimeSpan, DateOnly, TimeOnly). Tests the fundamental operations that power domain extensions: Add, Distance, Floor, and Ceiling.
⚡ Numeric Domains: Sub-Nanosecond Performance (O(1))
- Integer/Long/Double
Add: 0.08-0.16 ns (essentially free) - Integer/Long
Distance: 0.02-0.04 ns (arithmetic only) - Decimal
Add: 10.2 ns (decimal arithmetic overhead) - Decimal
Distance: 18.8 ns (decimal division cost)
📅 DateTime Domains: Fast Fixed-Step Operations (O(1))
- Day domain
Add: 0.74 ns (AddDays internally) - Hour domain
Add: 0.68 ns (AddHours internally) - Day domain
Distance: 7.58 ns (tick arithmetic + division) - Hour domain
Distance: 53.8 ns (more complex tick calculations)
⏱️ TimeSpan Domains: Consistent Performance (O(1))
- Day domain
Add: 0.68 ns - Day domain
Distance: 0.63 ns (tick-based arithmetic) - All operations O(1) guaranteed
🔢 Floor/Ceiling: Alignment Operations
- Decimal
Floor: 11.0 ns (decimal truncation) - Double
Floor: 0.05 ns (hardware-optimized) - DateTime Day
Floor: 3.13 ns (zero out time component) - DateTime Hour
Floor: 23.3 ns (more complex alignment)

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Integer 0.11 0.04 N/A N/A
Long 0.16 0.02 N/A N/A
Decimal 10.21 18.85 11.03 11.81
Double 0.08 N/A 0.05 0.02
DateTime (Day) 0.74 7.58 3.13 4.95
DateTime (Hour) 0.68 53.80 23.31 24.90
TimeSpan (Day) 0.68 0.63 0.68 0.69
Why all operations are O(1):
- ✅ Fixed-step domains use arithmetic:
(end - start) / stepSize - ✅ No iteration required for any operation
- ✅ Predictable performance regardless of range size
Why decimal is slower:
- Decimal arithmetic is software-implemented (128-bit precision)
- Integer/double use hardware CPU instructions
- Still only ~10-20 ns—acceptable for most scenarios
Why DateTime hour/minute domains are slower than day:
- More complex tick calculations (1 hour = 36,000,000,000 ticks)
- Division by larger numbers
- Still O(1), just more arithmetic operations
✅ All domains suitable for production hot paths:
- Numeric domains: Sub-nanosecond performance
- DateTime/TimeSpan: Single-digit nanoseconds
- Even "slow" operations (Decimal, Hour) are < 55 ns
✅ Choose domain based on granularity needs, not performance:
- All fixed-step domains are O(1)
- Performance differences (< 50 ns) are negligible in practice
- Select the domain that matches your business logic
Processing 1 million domain operations:
Integer domain Add: 0.11 seconds
DateTime Day domain Add: 0.74 seconds
Decimal domain Distance: 18.85 seconds
Even the "slowest" operation (Decimal Distance) processes 50,000+ operations per millisecond—more than sufficient for typical applications.
These benchmarks show fixed-step domain performance. For variable-step domains (business days):
- See VariableStepDomainBenchmarks
- Variable-step operations are O(N) and may require iteration
- Fixed-step: Always O(1), always predictable
All domain operations: 0 bytes allocated
All operations: Stack-only, no heap pressure
Domain instances: Stateless, can be reused safely
These benchmarks prove that domain abstraction has near-zero cost:
- The overhead of going through an interface is completely eliminated by JIT inlining
- Numeric domains perform at hardware speed
- DateTime operations match BCL performance
- You get type-safe, composable domain operations without performance penalty
