Does JIT compiler affect Gdi+ performance in any way

[James dean]

From what i have read and seen the JIT compiler is very efficient and
only compiles that code that it needs at runtime therefore it helps, not
hinders performance. Does the JIT compiler make Gdi+ slower in any way?.

I wouldn't be worry about the JIT, dude, it's cool

GDI+ is implemented in native code (System.Drawing is just a thin
wrapper around gdiplus.dll) so the JIT doesn't compile the code.

I think that the video drivers that implement the GDI+ interface is the
cause of slowness, not the JIT.
Some time ago, GDI was hardware accellerated by the video card drivers, but
they did not write drivers for the GDI+. Maybe with the newer video card
drivers they might also create the necesary drivers that accelerates the
GDI+. Otherwise software rendering is used.
